Now entirely refurbished, this legendary movie theatre, the largest in Switzerland with a total of 900 seats, has regained all of its former splendour after three years of works carried out by the City of Lausanne.

Lausanne Cathedral

HeritageArchitectureHistory

Lausanne's iconic cathedral has towered over the city for more than eight centuries. A masterpiece of Gothic art, it captivates visitors with the harmony of its architecture, the richness of its sculpted details and the serenity it inspires. From its tower, an exceptional panorama opens up over the roofs of the Cité, Lake Geneva and the Alps.

Due to the renovation of the vaults in the south transept, the rose and its stained glass windows will be inaccessible until spring 2027.

This monumental project has involved the creation of a second screening room and a new, contemporary foyer below ground. Named after the former historical owner of the Capitole, “Mademoiselle” Lucienne Schnegg, this new room will enable the Cinémathèque suisse (Swiss Film Archives) to broaden and diversify its activities, particularly by extending projection time and screening two films simultaneously, one in each room. As for the main, historic room that is destined to welcome many events, it will bear the name of legendary director and pioneer of the Cinémathèque suisse, Freddy Buache.
