History

The station opened on 31 March 1875 as the section from Holstebro to Ringkøbing of the new Esbjerg–Struer railway line opened.[3] Later the same year, on 8 August, the section from Varde to Ringkøbing also opened, and the West Jutland longitudinal railway line was thus completed.[3]

It has been unstaffed since 1970.[3]

Architecture
