Stende

Among the towns of Talsu novads, Stende stands out for its long-standing role as a railway settlement in Latvia’s Kurzeme region. It developed around Stende station on the Riga–Ventspils railway, a route linking the capital with the important Baltic port of Ventspils. The town sits in an inland part of northwestern Latvia where woodland, farmland and scattered settlements define the setting. Talsi, the municipality’s main town, lies nearby, while the Baltic Sea coast is farther to the west. Stende’s modest scale and railway connections provide a useful introduction to Kurzeme away from the larger coastal centres.
