It was demolished shortly after a new station building opened in 1968 in connection with the preparation of electrification and conversion of the railway into an S-train line.^[3]

In popular culture

The station is used as a location in the films Sønnen fra Amerika (1957) and Landsbylægen (1961).^[4]
