Ancien domaine du comte d'Hinnisdal (également sur communes de Vron et Machy) stands in Regnière-Ecluse (Somme), in the Hauts-de-France region of France. The building is listed as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: third quarter of the 16th century, 19th century). No visits are on record for this building.

Regnière-Ecluse castle stands on the site of a 16th-century manor, transformed during the 19th century according to neo-Gothic troubadour style principles. Architect Jean Herbault oversaw its reconstruction, creating an ensemble where the residential château adjoins structures dedicated to aristocratic life: hunting parks, an English-style park, and a model farm. The domain, which extends across the communes of Vron and Machy, embodies an owner's ambition to revive vanished noble ways of life, combining leisure with the traditional pursuit of hunting.
