Mozartkino, Historic movie theater in Salzburg, Austria
Mozartkino occupies the ground floor of Altstadthotel Kasererbräu and has two screening halls with a combined capacity of almost 400 seats. The larger hall holds approximately 263 viewers, while the smaller space accommodates around 136 people.
The cinema began operations in 1905 when Georg Barth presented the first films in the Lorieto Cinema Theatre at this location. The building itself has deeper roots, as later excavations would reveal ancient layers beneath.
The cinema screens European films and selected international productions that audiences discover in its two halls. This programming choice reflects a long tradition of bringing significant motion pictures to engaged viewers.
Tickets are available at the hotel reception or about 30 minutes before screenings begin. The main hall has designated wheelchair spaces for guests who need them.
During 1987 renovations, walls from a second-century Roman temple dedicated to the healing god Asclepius were discovered beneath the building. These remains are now visible in the Romersaal next to the movie screen.
