Blumenrain (pronounced as /de/) is the official residence of the United States Ambassador to Switzerland and Liechtenstein. It is located in the Monbijou area of Bern, Switzerland. The United States Department of State purchased the property in 1947 and has been furnished by the Foreign Buildings Office (FBO) 1947, 1948 and 1949 in a mixture of styles including Louis XIV, XV, XVI and "American Comfortable." In 1977, FBO had its interior decorator refurbish some of the reception and Ambassadorial rooms.[1] [2] [3]
