The Carolus, Nijmegen’s oldest surviving cinema, opened in 1955 as part of the Nederlandsche Bioscoop Trust BV (which translates into Dutch Cinema Trust SA) a company belonging to the Tuschinski distributor group. The cinema was made of modern materials such as concrete, steel, and glass. The design was a copy of the Cinema Palace in Groningen, also operated by the Tuschinski group.
The Carolus' large auditorium was split in the 1980’s into upstairs Auditorium 1 seating 436 and downstairs Auditorium 2 seating 133. In 1999, it was sold to Jochems Theaters, which continues to operate the cinema.
The Carolus is located less than 200 meters southeast of the Grote Markt.
