The church Saint-Nicolas de Longueval is a monument located in the commune of Longueval, in the Hauts-de-France region. Although its name and location are known, the available sources do not specify its construction period or details of its architectural or religious history. This type of monument, typical of French villages, generally served as a place of worship, community gathering and visual landmark in the local landscape.
