Hôtel des Postes

The Hôtel des Postes is an office building in La Chaux-de-Fonds. Located at number 63-65 Rue Léopold-Robert, the Hôtel des Postes, was constructed between 1906 and 1910 based on a design by Franz Fulpius and Duval, Architects in Geneva, after a competition in 1904.

The building follows the general plan developed by the Federal Buildings office, with an open courtyard facing the train station and a monumental facade of white and yellow limestone on the boulevard. There is a large arcade on the raised ground floor featuring allegorical masks of the 5 continents, the arms of the canton and the city, and decorations by Charles L'Eplattenier. It incorporates the natural history museum.

The attic was renovated and most of the building transformed and modernized in 1946 and 1959.
