The Church of Our Lady of Victoria (in Portuguese, Igreja de Nossa Senhora da Victoria) stands near the banks of the Cuanza River in Massanganu, Province of Kwanza-Norte, Angola.

It was also used as a religious Center having been elevated to Seat of ecclesiastic Government, between 1641 and 1648, during the netherlander occupation of Luanda.

Like many others churches, the Church of Massanganu had some slaves, and it was the local where a lot of them was baptized, or, it was the local where they christianized the black people captured in the Factories (Feitorias) and in the wars organized by the portugueses in order to obtain a bigger number of slaves.
