Schloss Schönau is a small moated castle in the Richterich district of the German municipality of Aachen. The lordship of Schönau was transferred as property in 1244 by Emperor Frederick II of the Holy Roman Empire to Heinrich von Aachen. Heinrich von Aachen, treasurer of Aachen, granted the possessions to the Von Schönau family, who also called themselves Von Schönforst after acquiring the castle and the Schönforst area in the first half of the 14th century. In 1396, the moated castle Schloss Schönau and the surrounding area became a lordship of the Duchy of Jülich.
