Angolan Embassy Residence [주한앙골라대사관저] is located in Seoul’s neighborhood Seongbuk [Seongbuk-dong/성북동], in the Seongbuk District [Seongbuk-gu/성북구] — home also to other official residences of ambassadors in Seoul from around the world. This three-story building comes with a rooftop, and  a front garden that spans 2003㎡ (about 606 pyeong).

The building was first owned by LG Electronics from 1988 to 2006 and used for holding events and meetings for overseas buyers. It was privately sold in April 2006, and it was from then on that the building was used as a filming location for K-Dramas until 2012. In December 2012, the building was purchased by the Angolan Embassy in Seoul, which has been using it as an embassy residence since.
