Chancery and Ambassador's Residence
In 1970, the foundation stone for both the Chancery and the Ambassador's Residence was laid by former Ambassador Norbert Berger. The buildings were inaugurated in 1972.
The new building for the visa section was inaugurated in 2009.
The Embassy is located within the "Diplomatic Enclave" - close to buildings of the Pakistani government.
The Chancery has an auditorium for lectures, exhibitions, concerts and other cultural events.
