The Universal Postal Monument (Weltpostdenkmal) can be found on the Kleine Schanze in Bern and serves as a constant reminder that Bern is the birthplace and current location of the Universal Postal Union, which has been in operation since 1874.

Parisian René de St. Marceaux took first place in the 1903–04 Universal Postal Union international competition. Bronze castings of his design were completed in 1908, and the completed structure was dedicated to Kleine Schanze on October 4, 1909.
