History
The first station in Frederikshavn opened in 1871 as the terminal station of the new Nørresundby–Frederikshavn railway line. The branch from Nørresundby to Frederikshavn opened on 16 August 1871. On 7 January 1879, at the opening of the Limfjord Railway Bridge, the line was connected with Aalborg station, the Randers–Aalborg line and the rest of Denmark's railway lines.
The original station was designed by N. P. C. Holsøe. It was located a short distance west of the current station, in the area where Frederikshavn Town Hall is now located.
The station became the terminus of the Skagen railway line between Frederikshavn og Skagen in 1890. In 189,9 it also became the terminus of the Sæbybanen railway line between Nørresundby and Frederikshavn, via Sæby, until the branch between Sæby and Frederikshavn was closed in 1962.
In 1979, the station moved to its current location, and the old station was closed and demolished.
