Vedbæk Station is a Coast Line regional railway station in Vedbæk, circa 20 km north of central Copenhagen, Denmark, serving the Oresundtrain between Helsingør and Malmö.

History

The station opened in connection with the inauguration of the Coast Line on 2 August 1897. At the time of its opening in 1900, the Nærum Line reached all the way to Vedbæk Station but the stretch from Nærum to Vedbæk was closed in 1923 due to economic constraints.

The main station building on Vedbæk Stationsvej has now been closed and is rented out for private celebrations and other events.

Architecture

Like the other stations on the Coast Line, Vedbæk Station was designed by Heinrich Wenck in a National Romantic style.

Two former residences for personnel from 1908 with various outbuildings are listed. They are designed by Christian Brandstrup and Holger Rasmussen.[1]
