In 1683, at the request of Louis XIV, architect Jules Hardouin-Mansart took charge of the reconstruction of the main building of the Abbey. Anna Gonzague de Clèves-Nevers, daughter of Charles I Gonzaga, Duke of Mantua, was educated at Faremoutiers. The abbey was later tainted by Jansenism, and in the 18th century suffered from an exhausting lawsuit with the bishop of Meaux and continuing economic problems. It was suppressed during the French Revolution, and the forty-three nuns were dispersed at the end of 1792. Most rejoined their families. Until 1796 the premises were used as a barracks and thereafter as a quarry. Re-foundation In 1923 Benedictine nuns from the Abbaye Saint-Nicolas de Verneuil settled in Amillis before founding in 1931 a small community on the site of Faremoutier abbey, which remains to this day. The Abbey of Faremoutiers now belongs to the Benedictine Congregation of Mont-Olivet. Since 1980, the monastery has operated as an EHPAD, i.e. a Residential care home for senior citizens, primarily elderly nuns from different monasteries throughout France.
