At Rød one finds oneself inside a home where time stood still for many years. Rød is just as interesting for for children as it is for adults; here there is a real lion rug (!), art by famous artists such as Hans Gude, royal bedrooms, the rapier of the famous Tordenskiold and much more. Nobody knows exactly when the mansion was built, but there is a painting from the late 17th century of a building with a large garden that looks like Rød.
The park at Rød Manor is more than 300 years old. The estate garden was first established as a large garden in Baroque style with straight paths, terraces, fish ponds and a pavilion in the middle. Later it was extended with an English landscape garden around it. In this garden there is an octagonal pavilion from 1756, a hassle tree avenue and an ivy tunnel. You can also see huge trees, ponds, a bear cave, a hermit cabin, saluting battery and a burial place.
The manor café is open during summer. It serves lunch, coffee and ice cream.
