Rød Herregård in Halden is one of the best preserved manor houses in Norway. The property features well-preserved buildings, a [[Baroque garden]] and an [[English landscape garden]]. The buildings have their oldest origins of the late 1600s, but were largely built during the last half of the 1700s. The main building contains authentic furnishings including period furniture, hunting trophies, an extensive collection of art and a large weapons collection.

Rød Herregård was owned and inhabited by members of the Tank and Anker families from 1733 including [[Carsten Tank]] and [[Nils Otto Tank]] as well as [[Peter Martin Anker (politician)|Peter Martin Anker]] and [[Nils Anker]]. The manor house and estate complex was owned by the Tank family through three generations, from 1733 to 1829. Both Danish Crown Prince regent [[Christian VIII of Denmark|Christian Frederik]] and Swedish Crown Prince and Regent [[Charles XIV John of Sweden|Charles John]] were guests at the mansion. The estate was visited by English economist [[Thomas Robert Malthus]] during his European tour in 1799.
