Gilleleje East (Danish: Gilleleje Øst; previously: Østerport) is a railway halt serving the eastern part of the fishing port and seaside resort town of Gilleleje on the north coast of Zealand, Denmark.

The station is located on the Hornbæk Line from Helsingør to Gilleleje. The train services are currently operated by the railway company Lokaltog which runs frequent local train services between Helsingør station and Gilleleje station.

History

The halt opened in 1916 as the Helsingør-Hornbæk railway line from Helsingør along the coast of the Øresund to Hornbæk was continued from Hornbæk station onwards along the coast to Gilleleje. From the opening in 1916 it served as the terminus of the Helsingør-Hornbæk Railway Line, as it was not possible to reach an agreement with the Gribskov Line about a joint station in Gilleleje. On 16 January 1918, however, the new Gilleleje station serving both railway lines was inaugurated.^[1]

The halt was originally called Østerport. The name was changed in 1995 to avoid confusion with Østerport station in Copenhagen.
