The station opened in 1871 as the branch from Nørresundby to Frederikshavn of the new Nørresundby-Frederikshavn railway line opened on 16 August 1871. [5] The station building was designed by the architect Thomas Arboe.

On 7 January 1879, at the opening of the Limfjord Railway Bridge, the Vendsyssel line was connected with Aalborg station, the Randers-Aalborg railway line and the rest of the Danish rail network. [6]

In 1942, the station became the terminal station of the Hjørring-Løkken-Aabybro Line, the Hjørring-Hørby Line and the Hjørring-Hirtshals Line, as the trains from Hjørring Privatbaner were moved from Hjørring West station to the mainline station. The Hjørring-Hørby Line was closed in 1953 and the Hjørring-Løkken-Aabybro Line in 1963, so that today only the Hirtshals Line remains as the only branch line from Hjørring Station.

Facilities

Inside the station building there is a combined ticket office and convenience store operated by 7-Eleven, waiting room, toilets and lockers.

Adjacent to the station is the Hjørring bus terminal.

Services

The station offers direct regional rail services to Aalborg and Frederikshavn, as well as local train services to Hirtshals, both operated by Nordjyske Jernbaner. [4]
