Grenaa station (Danish: Grenaa Banegård) is a railway station serving the town of Grenaa, Denmark. The station is the northeastern terminus of the Grenaa Line from Aarhus to Grenaa. The station opened in 1886 with the opening of the Randers-Ryomgaard-Grenaa Line. The train services are currently operated by the railway company DSB which run frequent local train services between Aarhus and Grenaa as part of the Aarhus Commuter Rail service.

History

The station opened on 26 August 1876 as the railway company Østjyske Jernbane (ØJJ) opened the railway line Randers-Ryomgaard-Grenaa from Randers to Grenaa. In 1877, ØJJ opened a branch line from Ryomgård to Aarhus, and just a few years later the trains starting running directly between Grenaa and Aarhus, with the Ryomgård-Randers section being reduced to a branch line used mostly for rail freight transport.
