 The castle (that can be seen today) of Leuville dates back to the 18th century.During the French revolution (1789–1799), Leuville served as a refuge for Lacépède, protégé of Buffon and a knowledgeable botanist, whilst fleeing the reign of terror in Paris.More recently in 1922, it was a refuge of the then exiled Georgian leader Noe Zhordania and his government-in-exile who settled there.
