    Scharfenberg Castle is the remains of a ruined high medieval spur castle that once stood on a rocky spur at a foothill of the Scharfenberg mountain in the municipality of Ursensollen in the Upper Palatinate district of Amberg-Sulzbach in Bavaria. It was the ancestral seat of the Scharfenberg family, who burned down the Kastl monastery in 1217. The complex is listed as an archaeological monument in the Bavaria Atlas as the "medieval castle ruins of Scharfenberg."
