A Restoration statue of Louis XVI now in Louisville, Kentucky, faces an uncertain fate. The statue, which came originally from Montpellier, stood outside Louisville's Metro Hall from 1967 until 2020, when it had to be taken down after damage during the George Floyd protests.
There aren't too many statues of Louis XVI which remain intact, but no-one apparently wants this one: and who can blame them: It's 12 feet tall and weighs nine tons!
