The Abbey of Notre-Dame du Vœu (Sancta Maria de Voto in medieval Latin), is a Catholic religious building in La Manche, located in Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, rue de l'Abbaye.
Founded in 1145 by Mathilde l'Emperesse, it was regularly looted and set on fire before being abandoned and requisitioned during the construction of the military port of Cherbourg, and left in ruins. It has been restored for about fifty years.
The domain of the abbey is classified as Historical Monuments by decree of September 9, 2002 replacing that of August 20, 1913.

A busy place is so magnificent a stone's throw from the arsenal.
