Monument du comte de Chambord, Historical monument in Sainte-Anne-d'Auray, France.

The Monument du comte de Chambord stands directly facing the Sainte-Anne basilica, featuring five statues including representations of Joan of Arc and Du Guesclin.

The monument was built in 1891 to commemorate Henri d'Artois, who was considered the legitimate heir to the French throne during the 19th century.

The memorial includes statues of French patron saints and knights, with the central figure of the Count of Chambord kneeling in coronation attire.

The monument underwent restoration work in 2012, which included rebuilding the enclosure wall and completing the garden according to original plans.

The statue depicts the Count in a kneeling position with a crown placed beside him, symbolizing his status as an uncrowned pretender to the French throne.
