Hvalsø railway station is a railway station serving the railway town of Kirke Hvalsø between the cities of Roskilde, Holbæk and Ringsted on the island of Zealand, Denmark.[1]

Hvalsø railway station is situated on the Northwest Line from Roskilde to Kalundborg. The station opened in 1874.[2] It offers regional rail services to Holbæk, Roskilde and Copenhagen operated by the national railway company DSB.[1]

History

Hvalsø railway station opened on 30 December 1874 as one of the original intermediate stations on the Northwest Line between Roskilde and Kalundborg.[2]

Hvalsø became a short-lived railway junction in the period when the Central Zealand railway line between Ringsted and Frederikssund crossed the Northwest Line here. The section from Ringsted to Hvalsø opened on 15 August 1925, and the section from Hvalsø to Frederikssund opened on 17 November 1928, but both sections were already closed on 15 May 1936.[2]

Architecture

Services

The station offers frequent regional rail services to Holbæk, Roskilde and Copenhagen operated by the national railway company DSB.[1]
