Ringsted station is an important railway junction where the main line Copenhagen–Fredericia, Copenhagen–Ringsted, and South Line railway lines all meet. The station opened in 1856, and its second and current station building designed by the architect Knud Tanggaard Seest was inaugurated in 1924.[3][2] The station offers direct Intercity rail services to Funen, Jutland and Copenhagen, as well as regional rail services to Copenhagen, Odense and Næstved, all operated by the national railway company DSB.[1]

History
Ringsted railway station opened on 27 April 1856, as the Copenhagen-Roskilde railway line from Copenhagen to Roskilde, the first railway line in the Kingdom of Denmark,[a] was prolonged from Roskilde to the port city of Korsør on the west coast of Zealand by the Great Belt in 1856.[5]
With the increasing traffic, the original station building from 1856 became too small, and in 1924 the second and current station building was inaugurated.[3]
On 31 May 2019, a new high-speed railway line between Copenhagen and Ringsted via the new Køge North railway station was inaugurated.[6]
