Kaysersberg is a small French village in Haut-Rhin, in the Alsace region in northeastern France. This charming village is very near the border with Germany, which explains its German name that means "emperor's mount". The village has lovely half-timbered houses that have been well preserved and are now enjoyed by a stream of visitors.

Kaysersberg is located to the northwest of another charming French town, Colmar. It sits on the slopes of the Vosges mountains. The most famous person to have been born here is Albert Schweitzer (1875-1965). His home is now restored and turned into a museum.

Kaysersberg covers 24.82 sq km (9.58 sq mi) and has a population of just around 2,800 people (2011 estimate). The city is in the Central European Time Zone (UTC+1) and in summer the Central European Summer Time Zone (UTC+2).
