Ålbæk railway station (alternative spelling: Aalbæk railway station) is a railway station serving the small coastal town of Ålbæk in Vendsyssel, Denmark.
The station is located on the Skagensbanen railway line from Skagen to Frederikshavn between Bunken and Napstjært halts. The train services are currently operated by Nordjyske Jernbaner which run frequent local train services between Skagen station and Frederikshavn station.
The station opened in 1890 when the railway started. In 1915, the Danish Parliament agreed to build a new railway line between Ålbæk and Hjørring, but it was only the first part between and that was built. Instead, that railway was extended to Hirtshals and this is today the Hirtshalsbanen railway line.[1]
The station building was built in 1932–33. It was the last drawn by the architect Ulrik Plesner before his death.
The train services are currently operated by the railway company Nordjyske Jernbaner (NJ) which run frequent local train services from Skagen station to Frederikshavn station with onward connections to the rest of Denmark.
