History
The station opened on 8 August 1875 as the section from Varde to Ringkøbing of the new Esbjerg–Struer railway line opened.[3] The station has been unstaffed since 1970.[3]
Architecture
Like the other stations on the Esbjerg–Struer railway line, the station building from 1875 was built to designs 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.[5] The station building was torn down in September and October 2002.[3]
