Burg Röthgen stands in Eschweiler (Städteregion Aachen), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Röthgen is a former moated manor house in the style typical of the Lower Rhine region, whose surviving fabric dates mostly from the early 16th century, built over a core of Gothic origin. The complex consists of a three-winged outer bailey and a main residential section separated by a ditch, now dry. A former keep can still be seen worked into the southern corner of the building, alongside a wing rebuilt in the 1960s after wartime destruction. The site remains privately owned and is used partly as a residence and partly as a riding stable.
