Yablanski House, Neo-baroque mansion in Sredets District, Sofia, Bulgaria.
The Yablanski House stands at 18 Tsar Osvoboditel Boulevard, featuring female sculptures, wrought iron balconies, and a distinctive mansard floor design.
Friedrich Grünanger designed this residence in 1907 for Dimitar Yablanski, a former mayor of Sofia and prominent financial figure.
The building served as the Embassy of the People's Republic of China from 1944 to 1991 following its nationalization during Bulgaria's political changes.
Since 2011, the renovated mansion operates as a private club with restaurant facilities, offering visitors a glimpse into early 20th-century Bulgarian architecture.
The interior displays Rococo-style stucco work, while the exterior decoration was created by Andreas Greis, the royal decorator of the Bulgarian monarchy.
