Abstract: Burger and Mozes constructed examples of infinite simple groups which are lattices in the group of automorphisms of a cubical building. We show that there can be no morphism with finitely generated kernel from a K"ahler group to one of these groups. We obtain as a consequence that these groups are not K"ahler.---Burger et Mozes ont construit des exemples de groupes simples infinis, qui sont des r'eseaux dans le groupe des automorphismes d'un immeuble cubique. On montre qu'il n'existe pas de morphisme d'un groupe k"ahl'erien vers l'un de ces groupes dont le noyau soit finiment engendr'e. On en d'eduit que ces groupes ne sont pas k"ahl'eriens.
