Embassy of Switzerland, Washington, D.C.

The Embassy of Switzerland in Washington, D.C. (German: Schweizerische Botschaft in den Vereinigten Staaten, French: Ambassade de Suisse aux Etats-Unis d’Amérique, Italian: Ambasciata di Svizzera negli Stati Uniti d’America) is the diplomatic mission of the Swiss Confederation to the United States.

[1] The area of the premises of the embassy and ambassador's residence were originally mostly unoccupied with the exception of Dumbarton House and Woodley Mansion.

After various ownership transfers between American officials, the Swiss government purchased the land in 1941 for their legation.
