Embassy of Sweden, Helsinki, Diplomatic mission in Kruununhaka, Finland.

The Embassy of Sweden occupies a neoclassical building at Pohjoisesplanadi 7, featuring symmetrical windows and a balanced architectural composition that reflects Nordic design principles.

Initially constructed in 1839 for businessman J. H. Heidenstrauch, the structure transformed into Sweden's diplomatic headquarters in Helsinki following Finland's independence in 1922.

The embassy functions as a central point for Swedish-Finnish relations, facilitating educational exchanges and maintaining connections between these neighboring Nordic nations.

Swedish citizens can access passport services, visa applications, and consular assistance at this location during regular business hours from Monday through Friday.

The building forms part of the protected Elefanten complex, incorporating architectural elements that mirror design features from the Stockholm Palace.
