Château de Berny stands in Antony (Hauts-de-Seine), in the Île-de-France region of France. No visits are on record for this building.

The Château de Berny no longer stands: it once rose at the edge of Antony and Fresnes, close to the crossroads that still bears its name, the Croix de Berny. Built in the seventeenth century for the Brûlart family and later reshaped by François Mansart, it passed through the hands of several notable figures before becoming a country residence for the abbots of Saint-Germain-des-Prés. Nothing of the building can be visited today; only written accounts and a few vanished traces in the urban landscape recall it.
