Château de Regnière-Écluse

Near the Bay of the Somme, the Regnière-Écluse estate has remained in the hands of the same lineage since it was acquired around 1030, an exceptional case in France. The oldest part of the château dates from the 16th century, but the building owes its present appearance to Count Herman d'Hinnisdal, who had it transformed in the 19th century in the neo-Gothic style, with sculptures by the Duthoit ornamentalists from Amiens, an English garden, a model farm and game parks.

Occupied during both world wars and then neglected, the estate has been restored since 1961. Listed as a historic monument in 2006 together with its park and forests, it has belonged to the Conservatoire du littoral since 2008. An association runs it and organises tours of the château and park in the warmer months.
