If you thought the Vatican being a country smack dab in the middle of Italy was cool, consider embassies. Here’s something alluring about plots of foreign soil and mysterious foreign diplomatic happenings right at your doorstep. But that’s not what we’re talking about today. Because what’s even more magnetic is the architecture of these buildings. Today, I’m going to be rating some of the world’s *best” embassies on their architectural pedigree.
- North Korean embassy in London
- This is the most unassuming of the bunch. Looks like a normal everyday building, right? It could be a house, it could be a store. Wrong. It’s actually North Korean soil. That makes it slightly more ominous.

- Chinese embassy in washington dc
- A structural masterpiece. Perhaps the most mysterious on this list, you can hardly tell what’s inside from the contemporary blank gray with several strange geometric shapes. Extraterrestrial and ambiguous, its architecture is without contest the most most thought-provoking and juicy.

- Netherlands Embassy in ethiopia
- This is an architectural marvel. Who knew one could construct something that looks so similar to the minecraft pig? As a plus it blends in with nature. The biomorphic architecture vibes used in this construction are excellent.

- French Embassy in Haiti
- This embodies “business in the front, party on the inside”. Oui oui! Need I say more?

- Mongolian embassy in Berlin, Germany
- While not as arcitecturally impressive as some of the others on this list, Mongolia brings their own unique flavor to the table and it in no way disappointed. There is a bear at the front. That is all I have to say.
