Kaysersberg is a former French commune located in the department of Haut-Rhin, in the Grand Est region.This small town is located in the historical and cultural region of Alsace and became, on January 1, 2016, a delegated municipality of the new municipality of Kaysersberg Vignoble.Its inhabitants are called Kaysersbergeois and Kaysersbergeoises.

Kaysersberg was voted France's favorite village at the end of the France 2 program presented by Stéphane Bern on Tuesday. It was in competition with twelve other exceptional municipalities.

The Kaysersberg valley has an identity marked and shaped by its unique history. It is the reflection of a region crossed by the tumults of history and the various cultural, religious or architectural movements. It is a syncretic richness that one finds while traveling through the Kaysersberg valley. Romanesque church, stone fortifications, cobbled streets, half-timbered houses, places of meditation, frescoes by Maurice Denis, there are many examples of a past that marked its presence.

History of Kaysersberg:
Due to its strategic position which allows control of transit between Haute Alsace and Lorraine (via the Col du Bonhomme), the Kaysersberg valley has been occupied by soldiers since Roman times. At the beginning of the 13th century (around 1218), the fortress was built. It is the beginning of the prosperous period of the city, under the control of the Hohenstaufen family. Kaysersberg became imperial city of the Holy Empire in 1293.

In the 14th and 15th centuries, the city prospered thanks to the granting of numerous privileges such as the right to have a weekly market and an annual fair. The city is part of the Decapolis (mutual alliance of 10 cities in Alsace). Its wine production was a great success and was exported to the Empire.
The 17th century was difficult following the Thirty Years' War which left the region ruined by the passage of different armies, but the city returned to prosperity in the second half of the century.
In the 19th century a large number of textile industries settled in the region and the 20th century saw the city partially destroyed by the Second World War.
