The station opened along with the other stations on the Tommerup–Assens railway line in 1884. The station came out of use when the Tommerup–Assens line was closed to passenger traffic in 1965.
Architecture and design
Assens railway station
The station building was built to a design by Niels Peder Christian Holsøe who had become head architect of the Danish State Railways in 1880.[2] Prior to his appointment, Holsøe had developed a standardized building, consisting of a high central section flanked by two lower shoulders, in a romanticizing Neo-Romanesque style. This design was introduced with the construction of Strib railway station in 1860. At Assens, it was expanded with two low towers in Italian style. Holsøe also designed a new post office which was built next to the station.[3] The station building was listed in 1992.[1]
