Ulfborg station is located on the Esbjerg–Struer railway line from Esbjerg to Struer. The station opened in 1875.[3] It offers regional rail services to Holstebro and Skjern, operated by the railway company Midtjyske Jernbaner.[2]
History
The station opened on 31 March 1875 as the section from Holstebro to Ringkøbing of the new Esbjerg–Struer railway line opened.[3] Later the same year, on 8 August, the section from Varde to Ringkøbing also opened, and the West Jutland longitudinal railway line was thus completed.[3]
It has been unstaffed since 1970.[3]
Architecture
The station building from 1875 was designed by the Danish architect Niels Peder Christian Holsøe (1826–1895), known for the numerous railway stations he designed across Denmark in his capacity of head architect of the Danish State Railways.[4]
Services
The station offers direct regional rail services to Skjern and Holstebro, operated by the regional railway company Midtjyske Jernbaner.[2]
