In the 18th century, under Abbot François Dulac, a renovation took place. During the French Revolution , the monastery was closed in 1791. It was then used for agriculture.

The one- nave , three- bay church with a flat end of the choir is used for agriculture today. In the area of the disappeared cloister there is a fountain bowl from the 16th century. The castle-like development of the former south wing of the enclosure was probably built towards the end of the 17th century.
