The Saint-Léger church in Sancheville existed from the 12th century, it was a single nave church. There are remains of this primitive building in four pillars of the nave, at the base of the bell tower and on the south wall.

In the 13th century, the church was rebuilt, the nave was enlarged and vaulted with ribs. The pillars of the Romanesque choir supported a tower built in the 13th century and which burned down on April 13, 1608.

In the 14th century, the main portal with buttresses was built, without a tympanum.

In the 16th century, the north aisle was built and a second portal was built, a remarkable Renaissance ensemble.

Also in the 16th century, at the same time as the vault of the north aisle, the vault of the main nave was redone in a pointed arch.

The current bell tower was built in the 17th century, replacing the burnt tower.

The frame was redone in the 17th century, as was the layout of the sanctuary.
