Embassy of Luxembourg in Washington
- Embassy of Luxembourg in Washington
The Embassy of Luxembourg in Washington, D.C. is located in an ornate manor at 2200 Massachusetts Avenue, NW on Embassy Row. The building was originally constructed for lumber baron and former Congressman Alexander Stewart in 1909. It was built in the French style of Louis XIV. Stewart died in 1912 and his widow lived in the building until her death in 1931. In 1941, her daughter sold it to Grand Duchess Charlotte of Luxembourg who was then in exile due to German occupation of her country in the Second World War. It was bought by the government of Luxembourg in 1962 and has been home to the embassy ever since. The building was refurbished and renovated in 2003.
The embassy also serves as Luxembourg's mission to Canada and Mexico.
