Château des comtes de Bryas stands in Fumay (Ardennes), in the Grand Est region of France. The building is registered as a historic monument (dating recorded in the Mérimée database: fourth quarter of the 17th century). No visits are on record for this building.

In Fumay, in the Ardennes, the château des comtes de Bryas presents a brick facade lined with blue stone quoins above the Meuse river. Built in the late 17th century by the Bryas family on the site of an earlier fort, it later served as headquarters of a slate company before becoming municipal property. Visitors can note the inverted-tulip roofs of the side pavilions and the local violet slate, and a nearby path leads toward the former slate workings.
