The history of the "Le Royal" cinema began in 1954 when the building was built. Three years later, on June 27, 1957, the cinema was inaugurated with the first screening of the film "La Tunique". At that time, it was the largest cinema ever built in the Bruche Valley, with a capacity of 555 seats and a huge 45 m2 screen. However, on December 31, 1978, after the screening of the film "Le Fantôme de Barbe-Noire", the cinema closed its doors due to the rise of television. The municipality of Rothau then took over the building and transformed it into a multi-purpose cinema.
It would take 17 years, until December 1995, for the association "Cinéma Le Royal" to be born, set up as an association. This initiative stems from the recognition of the potential of the original building intended to be a movie theater. Some of the equipment, including a 180-seat balcony, is still in working order!
