Suomeen perustettiin oma Ritarihuone vuonna 1818, kun Ruotsi oli menettänyt Suomen Venäjälle vuonna 1809. Ritarihuoneeseen otettiin Suomeen jääneet ruotsalaiset aatelissuvut ja keisari-suuriruhtinaan aateloimat ansioituneet suomalaiset.

Nykyään Ritarihuoneen tärkein tehtävä on hoitaa 1862 valmistunutta Ritarihuone-rakennusta kokoelmineen. Lisäksi se ylläpitää aatelissukujen sukutauluja sekä julkaisee Aateliskalenteria.

Kierroksella kuullaan aatelissukujen taustoista ja yhteiskunnallisesta merkityksestä sekä tutustutaan uusgoottilaistyylisen Ritarihuone-rakennuksen Ritarihuone-saliin juhlavine vaakunoineen, Johtokunnan huoneeseen, valiokuntahuoneeseen ja maamarsalkan huoneeseen.

http://www.lib.ndsu.nodak.edu/grhc/info/introduction/herzog.html Translator's note: Especially in the context of this article, the usual translation for "Russlanddeutsche" as "Germans from Russia" actually makes sense, whereas the same designation for ethnic Germans actually in Russia, i.e., in the former Soviet Union, can sometimes be confusing.
