A four-century-old tradition is drawing to a quiet close. Denmark will deliver its last official letter on December 30, 2025, marking the end of one of the world’s oldest uninterrupted postal services. With this, the familiar sound of letters dropping into red post boxes will fade into history, overtaken by the speed and scale of the digital age.
