Laidi is a village in Kuldīga Municipality, situated in the heart of the Kurzeme region of western Latvia. The settlement is centered around the Laidi Manor (Laidu muiža), a magnificent Neoclassical estate built in the early 19th century for the von Manteuffel family. The manor house is renowned for its architectural elegance and its well-preserved interior details, and it currently serves as the local school. Surrounding the manor is an extensive landscape park that features several exotic tree species and a system of ponds, reflecting the sophisticated taste of the 19th-century Baltic German nobility. Historically, Laidi was an important agricultural estate, known for its dairy production and horse breeding.
