The church Saint-Léonard de Reffuveille is a religious monument located in the commune of Reffuveille in Normandy. The available data do not specify its construction period or its specific architectural or historical details. This type of building, typical of the French countryside, generally served as a place of worship, community gathering and identity marker for local inhabitants.
