Vaiņode Manor (Latvian: Vaiņodes muižas pils) was a manor house in the historical region of Courland, in western Latvia. A two-story neo-Renaissance structure with two towers was built on the estate during the second half of the 19th century. This building was completely destroyed by fire during the 1905 Russian revolution. A massive new three-story manor house with a mansard roof was built on the old foundations in 1912. This second structure was in turn destroyed during World War II and never rebuilt.
