Things to see and do Halden

It is an 18th and 19th century manor house surrounded by two gardens, one baroque, the other English. The interiors and furniture have been preserved in their original state. The manor and its tour are managed by the Halden Historical Collections Association(Halden Historiske Samlinger). A visit rich in history. There is a small shop and above all a great café next door where you can take a break and enjoy a savoury dish or simply a pastry.

The fortifications and the Fredriksten Festning fortress, built around 1660 in the shape of a star according to the French model of the time, can be admired here. The fortress contains a collection of exhibits on the city's military history. The castle has been attacked six times, but never conquered. It is a very beautiful place, beautifully preserved. You can go for a walk, have a bite to eat or spend a night there. The view of the city and the fjord is breathtaking. Events are also organized there.
