Embassy of the United States in Oslo

Embassy of the United States in Oslo

The Embassy of the United States in Oslo is the diplomatic representation of the United States Government to the kingdom of Norway. The Embassy is located at Henrik Ibsens gate 48.

Norwegian-American diplomatic history

With the dissolution of Sweden-Norway in 1905 the US became one of the first countries to establish diplomatic ties with Norway, that same year.

Embassy Chancery

The Embassy Chancery on Henrik Ibsens gate was designed by Finnish-American architect Eero Saarinen, who also designed the American Embassy in London and the Gateway Arch in Saint Louis, Missouri. The Chancery in Oslo, which was completed in 1959, forms a uniquely shapped triangle that is stark in its dark colour. Physical security measures for the American Chancery were increased after the September 11, 2001 attacks in the U.S.
