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 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]
