Kladaradach Palace Cinema

As a cinema, this was last known as the Kladaradach Palace Cinema at 85 Blvd. Anspach, one block south of the Bourse in central Brussels. It was built in 1913 as the Theatre de la Bourse. It is located in a vast complex which includes a Winter Garden and four bars. Seating was provided in orchestra and two balconies and originally the orchestra part of the auditorium had restaurant type seating with tables.

It was converted into a cinema after the First World War and alterations were carried out in 1951 when it received an Art Deco style make-over. The cinema was known as Pathe-Palace and closed in the late 1970’s. It was taken over by a German company in 1995 and they set about restoring the building. It reopened in 1999 after being closed for two decades. It’s last incarnation as a cinema was with 3 small screens screening Hollywood hits and Flemish feature films. Sadly that venture didn’t last too long and it is now the 400 capacity; Palace nightclub.
