Burg Schwalbach am Taunus, Former castle site in Schwalbach am Taunus, Germany

Burg Schwalbach am Taunus stood at the junction where the Waldbach and Sauerbornsbach rivers met. The fortress featured defensive walls and a main building constructed in Renaissance style in 1573.

First mentioned in 1345, the fortress served as a fief under Falkenstein control. During the Thirty Years War in 1622, it was destroyed by troops from Brunswick.

The noble family Vögte von Schwalbach, distinct from the unrelated Lords of Schwalbach, bore three swallows in their coat of arms and died out in the male line in 1569 with Lorenz von Schwalbach. Their representatives held jurisdiction in the castle as vogts or Schultheißen. A bronze plaque at Burgstraße and a model at the Moos building-materials yard keep the site in local memory.

A scale model of the former fortress stands near the Moos building materials store, and a memorial plaque near the fire station marks where it once stood. These markers help visitors locate and understand the site.

After partial reconstruction, it became the seat of magistrates serving the Electoral Mainz territory. The site remained under Nassau ducal control until 1819.
