Rouffignac-Saint-Cernin-de-Reilhac is a town and commune of the Dordogne département, in southwestern France.
A town in the Périgord region of France. The town has little history as it was destroyed by the Germans in March 1944, the only remaining buildings being the church and the house adjacent. The destruction was caused because two German officers were captured by the French resistance during the war. The captives were not harmed but escaped and returned to the town for retribution. No one was killed during the destruction but a rape was reported and many private families had all their possessions stolen by the German army.
