History
The station opened in 1871 as the branch from Nørresundby to Frederikshavn of the new Nørresundby-Frederikshavn railway line opened on 16 August 1871. 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.
In 1942, the station became the terminal station of the Hjørring-Løkken-Aabybro Line, the Hjørring-Hørby Line og 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 Hirtshal 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.
