Norway established an embassy in the United States in 1906, a year after Norwegian independence from Sweden.
The current chancery was built in 1977. Fentress Architects conducted a major renovation and expansion of the complex, incorporating various new features such as a new copper-clad timber hull and various sustainability upgrades, that was completed in May 2022.[3][4]
The Embassy also operates consulates general in New York City and San Francisco. In addition, there are 38 Norwegian honorary consulates around the United States.[5]
