Brønderslev railway station (Danish: Brønderslev Station or Brønderslev Banegård) is a railway station serving the town of Brønderslev in Vendsyssel, Denmark.[1][2]

The station is located on the Vendsyssel Line from Aalborg to Frederikshavn. It opened in 1871 and was moved to its current location in 1966.[9] The train services are operated by the railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner, which runs frequent regional train services to Aalborg and Frederikshavn.[6]

History

The station opened in 1871 as the section from Nørresundby to Frederikshavn of the new Vendsyssel Line opened on 16 August 1871.[9] The station building was designed by the architect N.P.C. Holsøe.

On 7 January 1879, at the opening of the Limfjord Railway Bridge, the Vendsyssel line was connected with Aalborg station, the Randers-Aalborg railway line and the rest of the Danish rail network.[10]

In 1966 the station was moved to its current location and the old station was closed and torn down.

Architecture

Brønderslev stations first station building from 1871 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] The station building was torn down in 1966.[3]

The second and current station building in modernist style was built in 1966 to designs by the Danish architect Ole Ejnar Bonding in his capacity of head architect of the Danish State Railways from 1958 to 1979.[8] It was inaugurated on 14 May 1963.[3] It is in the same uncompromising modernist architectural style as Bonding's other station buildings in Kalundborg, Skive, Nykøbing Falster, Vojens, Sønderborg, Rødekro, Holbæk, Svanemøllen and Herning.[8]

Operations

Until 2017, passenger traffic from Brønderslev to Frederikshavn, Aalborg and Copenhagen was operated by the national railway company DSB. Since 2017, train services from the station are operated by the regional railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner which runs frequent regional train services to Aalborg and Frederikshavn.[6]
