The station building is built in a nationally romantic style with logs, designed by architect Thorvald Astrup. It was finished in 1908 but did not open until August 9, 1909. It remained staffed until 1988. On January 1, 1991, the station closed after all passenger traffic was ended on the Tinnoset Line, as was freight traffic the following summer.[1][2]
