Schloss Burgau stands in Düren (Kreis Düren), in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The building is a listed Baudenkmal. Its opening hours and prices have not been verified at the source yet.

Schloss Burgau is a moated castle standing on an island within a forest at the edge of Niederau, a district of Düren. Its origins go back to an eleventh-century motte, though most of what visitors see today results from a rebuilding effort that began in the 1970s, after wartime destruction. Highlights include a Renaissance bay window decorated with reliefs, part of the medieval keep, and an outer bailey with three wings, also surrounded by a moat.
