History
The station was opened on 2 December 1927,[1] when the Sørlandet Line was opened to Kragerø from Lunde Station. The station was the terminus of the Sørlandet Line, but after the extension of the line from Neslandsvatn to Nelaug, it became a branch line.[2] Traffic was terminated in 1989.[1] By 1994, the station was used as a parking lot.[2]
The station building was finished in 1925, and it was designed by Gudmund Hoel and Eivind Gleditsch.[3] In 2020, the building was sold by the municipal council to the non-profit organisation Sparebankstiftelsen DNB.[4][5]
