At the start of the French Revolution, on 2 November 1789 the Constituent Assembly decreed nationalization of the lands of the church and the religious houses.

The monks were turned out of the abbeys and left to look after themselves.

In May 1790 the municipality of Bèze made an inventory of the monks' property.

The last three monks left in January 1791.

The municipality acquired the storehouse to hold the town hall and the school.

In August 1791 a Langres paper maker named Faitout obtained possession of the other buildings.

After a failed spinning project the abbey church began to be destroyed around 1796 and the stones sold.

The central part of the buildings was demolished in 1805.

The former "convent house" was sold in 1804 to Frédéric Rochet, an ironmaster.

The property then passed through several hands before being acquired by the Dijon industrialist Philippe Breuil in 1872, whose descendants owned the property as of 2014.

The forges on the Belle Ile en Bèze operated until the end of the 19th century, when they were replaced by a hydroelectric power station, which operated until the 1960s.

Sheds, stables and an orangerie in the southwest were built after 1845 and a park laid out.

The English-style park was planted with many unusual trees in the 19th century and includes a flower garden with old roses.

The site has a total area of 4 hectares (9.9 acres).

There are two 4-level horseshoe towers from the old enclosure.

The Oysel tower to the north has had its internal divisions destroyed.

The Chaix tower to the west has a vaulted ground floor and 2nd and 3rd floors reached by a stairway in the thickness of the wall.

Of the main structure what remains are two symmetrical buildings with basements and two floors.

There is an elongated building to the east and remains of other structures including a barrel-vaulted chapel.

The axial chapel survives with two pilasters and their capitals.

The east and west wings of the 18th century convent building, the Chaux and Oysel towers including the washhouse, the floor of the old church and the axial chapel, facades, roofs and cellar structure were registered as Monuments Historiques on 15 September 2010.

The property is privately owned.
Both the park and gardens are open to visitors, for a small fee.
