Kaparen, Movie theater in Majorna district, Sweden
The Kaparen movie theater features flat roofs, stucco walls, and large windows that allow natural light to enter the building spaces.
Architect Nils Olsson designed this functionalist structure, which opened its doors to the public on February 24, 1940 in Gothenburg Municipality.
The theater stands as an example of Swedish modernist architecture from the early 1940s, reflecting the principles of practicality and minimal decoration.
Located in the residential area of Masthugget, the theater maintains its original layout while adapting to modern film presentation requirements.
The building represents one of the few remaining movie theaters from the 1940s that maintains its structural elements intact in Gothenburg.
