Visite guidée : L'abbaye du Vœu by night

Founded in 1145 by Empress Mathilde, the Abbaye du V?u was regularly ravaged throughout its history. Losing its abbey status in the second half of the 18th century, its buildings welcomed King Louis XVI in 1786. Transformed into a hospital during the Revolution, then into barracks, it was burnt down by the Germans in 1944. It owes its rebirth to Yves-Marie Froidevaux, chief architect of historic monuments, who had the refectory and chapter house rebuilt.

During your visit, you'll tour the different parts of the building, some in ruins, others still preserved:
- church
- temporary naval hospital pavilion
- cloister
- refectory
- chapter house
- abbot's residence.

Duration 1h30 - recommended for ages 8 and up.

Reservations required at the Cotentin Tourist Office.
