Cinema Palace, Art Deco movie theater in Haarlem, Netherlands.
Cinema Palace is an Art Deco movie theater located at Grote Houtstraat 111-113, featuring a carefully restored facade and a multi-story interior layout. The space includes seating across multiple levels with a balcony section offering special loges that provided extra comfort for certain viewers.
The building opened its doors in 1915 as a cinema and remained an active film venue throughout the 20th century. It later operated under different names and purposes before closing permanently in 2011.
The theater served as Haarlem's main gathering place for cinema-goers, drawing crowds for afternoon and evening screenings that became part of local entertainment habits. Visitors came to experience films together in a shared space designed for that purpose.
The location sits on a busy shopping street in central Haarlem and is easy to reach on foot from the city center. The distinctive Art Deco facade makes it simple to spot as you walk through the neighborhood.
The projection room maintained its 1960s equipment setup well into the 2000s, with specialized projectors capable of showing multiple film formats in ways few other theaters could match. This technical continuity reflected how carefully the venue was maintained throughout its operating years.
