Anybody know anything about the German language?

In tLS I originally went to some website and translated "the manor house" to "das Herrenhaus".

I am told that this is incorrect, that "das" should be "der", and that "das" actually meant "that".

Can anyone tell me which is correct? Thanks!

Knowing only Hogan's Heros German, I'd say Das is That and Der is the.

("Das is correct, Herr Hogan!")
