Frederikshavn railway station (Danish: Frederikshavn Station or Frederikshavn Banegård) is a railway station serving the town of Frederikshavn in Vendsyssel, Denmark.[1][2] It is located in central Frederikshavn, situated between the town centre and the Port of Frederikshavn, and immediately adjacent to the Frederikshavn bus station.

The station is the terminus of the Vendsyssel railway line from Aalborg to Frederikshavn as well as the Skagen railway line from Frederikshavn to Skagen. The station opened in 1871 and was moved to its current location in 1979.[6][5] It offers direct regional rail services to Aalborg as well as local train services to Skagen. The train services are currently operated by the local railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner.[4]

History

[edit]
The opening train arrives to Frederikshavn Station at the opening of the Vendsyssel Line on 15 August 1871.

The current railway station is the second station in Frederikshavn. The first station opened in 1871 as the terminal station of the new Vendsyssel railway line from Nørresundby to Frederikshavn. The station was ceremonially opened by King Christian IX amid great festivities on 15 August 1871 along with the railway line.[6][5] On 7 January 1879, at the opening of the Limfjord Railway Bridge which connected Nørresundby and Aalborg across the Limfjord, the line was connected with Aalborg station, the Randers–Aalborg railway line and the rest of Denmark's railway lines.[6]

The original station was designed by the Danish architect Niels Peder Christian Holsøe (1826–1895), known for the numerous railway stations he designed across Denmark in his capacity of head architect of the Danish State Railways.[7] It was located a short distance west of the current station, in the area where Frederikshavn Town Hall is now located.[5]

The station became the southern terminus of the Skagen railway line between Frederikshavn og Skagen in 1890. In 1899 it also became the northern terminus of the Sæby railway line between Nørresundby and Frederikshavn, via Sæby, until the section between Sæby and Frederikshavn was closed in 1962.[5]

In 2017, operation of the regional rail services on the Vendsyssel railway line between Aalborg and Frederikshavn were transferred from DSB to the local railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner.[8]
