In 657, Landelin von Crespin founded the Waslere Abbey , a few kilometers south of the Aulne Abbey he had founded a few years earlier, on property that his family had received from the Merovingian king Dagobert I. He dedicated it to the apostles Peter and Paul . He or his pupil and successor Ursmar von Lobbes appointed the later canonized Dodo as first abbot . Dodo donated all of his worldly possessions to the monastery.
The monastery , one of the four founded by Landelin (the others were Lobbes , Aulne and Crespin ), was destroyed by marauding Vikings as early as the 9th century ; there are hardly any traces left of him.
