The abbey was damaged by English troops in the 14th century during the Hundred Years' War and again by Protestants in the 16th century during the French Wars of Religion.[1]
Alain de Solminihac (beatified in 1981 by John Paul II) had the abbey restored in 1623.[1] He was consecrated abbot of Chancelade by Urban VIII in 1636.[2]
Economist Nicolas Baudeau taught theology at the abbey.[3]
A contemporary monastic community is now in occupation of some buildings and in 2016 completed a new community house on the site.
