The fortress is Halden’s most important tourist attraction, and was in 2007 the eighth most visited tourist attraction in Norway. There are a number of monuments at Fredriksten, including one that indicates where the Swedish King Karl XII was shot during the siege of 1718.
Fredriksten is an imposing structure with a total wall surface of 20,000 square metres. Exploring its ramparts and bastions, storehouses, powder houses and deep, mysterious passageways is an unforgettable experience.
The fortress, which has been preserved as if it were a park, is a picturesque and idyllic spot. There are many different, exciting things to do at the fortress: Ghost hunting, guided tours, museums and a lot more.
Rød Manor is a very special home, where time has stood still for more than 50 years. Rød is as exciting for children as for adults. Here you will find a real lion carpet, well-known artists such as Hans Gude, royal bedrooms and much more.
The canal, which is part of the Halden watercourse, is one of Norway’s finest technical, historical monuments. It is possible to travel the stretch between Tistedal and the village of Skulerud by boat.
