The history of the centre in Trosly-Breuil near Paris is too gloomy and its activities too unprofitable, the national committee of the "Arche" community decided according to the newspaper "La Croix".
A closing ceremony was held on site on Saturday.
The "Arche" community enables people with intellectual disabilities and their companions, employees or volunteers, more than 10,000 members in around 40 countries, to live and work together.
The Canadian founder Jean Vanier (1928-2019) is accused of spiritual abuse and sexual assault of at least 25 women without disabilities.
According to an investigation report, Vanier, who was not a priest, and his spiritual mentor, the religious priest Thomas Philippe, who died in 1993, had formed a sect-like group in Trosly that followed an erotic-mystical theology advocated by Philippe.
This group had come together in Trosly in 1963, where Vanier, then a philosophy lecturer and former naval officer, founded the first "Ark" in 1964 and the spiritual centre in 1971.
In addition to Philippe himself, two other people from Philippe's circle have been identified who are also accused of offences of abuse.
First investigation in 2020
An initial internal investigation, which was published in 2020 after Vanier's death, spoke of six cases.
According to the investigation, people with intellectual disabilities were not affected by acts of abuse.
According to the second report published later, some of the women presented themselves as victims of an abusive relationship, others as "willing partners in an abusive relationship".
The study also showed that the many people who joined the "Ark" after 1964 and contributed to its rapid worldwide spread had no knowledge of the sect-like circle around Philippe and Vanier.
In 2015, the charismatic Catholic Vanier received the Templeton Prize for services to humanity.
With the equivalent of around 1.5 million euros in prize money, the award is one of the most prestigious in the field of religion and spirituality.
Vanier received the French Legion of Honour award at the end of 2016.
