Royal Theater, Movie theater and Rijksmonument in Heerlen, Netherlands
The Royal Theater features a triangular layout with a half-oval shape, connecting seamlessly to adjacent buildings through three to four levels with flat roofing.
Constructed in 1937 by architect Frits Peutz, the theater opened in January 1938 with 1180 seats, surpassing the capacity of the Hollandia Theater.
The theater stored weapons in its cellars and sheltered Allied pilots during World War II while maintaining regular film screenings for the public.
The modernized structure includes multiple screening rooms, with the third hall, named Maxim, adding 75 additional seats to the theater complex.
The building incorporates mushroom columns and steel trusses supporting a shell-shaped ceiling that channels natural light through an advanced ventilation system.
