 In 1796 the abbey complex was sold as a national asset and destroyed.The remains of the abbey are today incorporated in the "mairie" or seat of local government of modern Chelles.The attempt of Charles the Simple in 922 to dispossess his aunt, Rothild of Chelles, in order to give it to his favourite, Hagano, led to his deposition after a revolt of the nobility, probably under the leadership of Hugh the Great, Rothild's son-in-law.
