Aubure, the highest village in Alsace, is located at an altitude of 800 m on a bowl-shaped plateau overlooking the Alsatian plain, at the crossroads of the highest points of three valleys: Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines to the north, Lapoutroie and Kaysersberg to the south, and Ribeauvillé to the east. Protected from the west winds by the Brézouard massif, the village benefits from a unique microclimate. Thanks to this microclimate and its mountain location, Aubure became known from the late 19th century as a health resort for air cures, with hotels and sanatoriums emerging alongside traditional guesthouses.

The upper city gate, the Dolder (1291), was built at the same time as the first fortifications at the end of the 13th century and served as a defensive tower, watchtower, and bell tower. In Alsatian, "Dolder" means "highest point, peak." At 25 meters high, this tower threatened the enemy with the stark and warlike appearance of its exterior, while the inner facade, facing the city, had delighted the inhabitants since the 16th century with its attractive arrangement of wooden beams and four corbelled vaults. Its first level formed one of the starting points of the patrol path that ran along the top of the ramparts around the city.
