Bergholtz (French pronunciation: [bɛʁɡɔlts] ⓘ; German: Bergholz) is a commune in the Haut-Rhin department in Grand Est in north-eastern France,[3] and, since 1 January 2021, the European collectivity of Alsace.

Situated at the midpoint between Colmar and Mulhouse (23 km from Mulhouse and 25 km from Colmar) and at the mouth of the Guebwiller valley, Bergholtz backs onto limestone hills under the Vosges, and largely opens up in the east on a plane of the Rhine onto a low-lying terrace of loess, which offers excellent agricultural land.

The village was developed along the lengths of two perpendicular paths, one of which connects to Guebwiller by following a line along the slope between the plain and the hill, and the other surrounds the mouth, towards the localities in the valley of Orschwihr.

The name Bergholtz seems to indicate that the village left its original resources that came from the destruction of the forest which must have covered Schwartzberg ('Black Mountain').

After a continuous decrease since the end of the nineteenth century, largely because of the industrialisation of the Guebwiller valley, agriculture returned in the twentieth century, becoming a more common activity.
