[edit] History
The first station at Kongsberg opened in 1871 when the branch line of the Randsfjord Line from Hokksund to Kongsberg was completed. The present station dates from 1917 with the construction of the Sørland Line and was drawn by Gudmund Hoel and N. W. Grimnes. The station was preserved by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage in 1997.
The restaurant was taken over by Norsk Spisevognselskap in on 1 November 1944.[1]
