The Royal Theater is a former cinema in the center of Heerlen and dates from 1938. The Royal Theater was designed by Frits Peutz and J. Bongaerts.
Originally there were almost 1,200 seats available in the Royal Theater, later these seats were reduced to around 700 to create more legroom.
After a renovation in 2010, the total number of seats has been reduced to approximately 600. In 2009 the Royal Theater was the first cinema in the Netherlands to offer digital and 3D projection in all halls.
After the arrival of Vue Parkstad in Kerkrade in 2013, fewer and fewer people were able to find their way to the Royal Theater and in 2014 the Royal Theater closed its doors for good after 76 years.
