A 12-metre cross carved into the rock by the Devil's Bridge in memory of the Russian soldiers who fell in the engagement of 25 September 1799 during Suvorov's Swiss campaign. By a decision of the Urseren Corporation council of 13 October 1893 the plot was transferred free of charge to the Russian Empire; the work was paid for by Prince Sergei Golitsyn and the monument was unveiled in September 1898. The plot remains the private property of the Russian Federation while being Swiss territory.
