Burg Schwartzenburg stands in Stolberg (Städteregion Aachen), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. No visits are on record for this building.

Burg Schwartzenburg stands in the Dorff district of Stolberg. Built around 1400 by Reinhard Soldener von Schwartenbergh, a vassal of the imperial abbey of Kornelimünster, it formed the core of this small settlement. Besieged and burned down by French mercenary troops in 1688 during the War of the Palatine Succession, the ruined walls were later used as a quarry by local residents. Only the entrance gate still stands today, the last trace of what was once a moated stronghold.
