History

Espergærde station was not one of the original stations on the Coast Line which opened in August 1897. DSB estimated that the customer base was too small for a station. However, shortly the opening of the railway line, a local initiative managed to strike a deal with the Ministry of Interior Affairs and DSB which provided the necessary funding for a station, resulting in the opening of the station in May 1898.[2]

The red timber structure on the east side of the tracks is the original station building. The brick building next to it was constructed in 1904–05.

A new station building with ticket office and a kiosk on the west side of the tracks was inaugurated in November 1997. This building is now a pizza establishment.
