History of the chancery
The building which is now the embassy chancery was built in 1872-1873 based upon the designs of architect Alois Wurm-Arnkreuz in Viennese Neo-Renaissance style. The facade of the building features an open balcony and a balustrade. The colonnade, stairs and interior are made of granite and marble.[de icon cite web]

The palace later housed diplomatic representatives of the Soviet Union.
During the Vienna Offensive in 1945, the building suffered damage and was restored during 1947 and 1950. The chancery hosted a meeting between Nikita Khrushchyov and John F. Kennedy in 1961 and was the site of meetings between Leonid Brezhnev and Jimmy Carter which lead to the signing on 18 June 1979 of the historic SALT II agreement.
