The embassy building was built in 1839 to be businessman J. H. Heidenstrauchs home. It became a diplomatic mission in the 1920s. It was originally designed by architect A. F. Granstedt, but after becoming a diplomatic mission, it was heavily changed. The architect of this was Swedish Torben Grut, who designed it to look like the Stockholm Palace.
