Ry station is a railway station serving the railway town of Ry in the Søhøjlandet (English: the Lake-highland) area of Central Jutland, Denmark.[1] The station is situated in the centre of the town, and c. 5 km (3.1 mi) east of the original town of Rye which is now much smaller than the railway town.
The station is located on the Skanderborg–Skjern railway line from Skanderborg to Skjern. The station opened on 2 May 1871 with the Skanderborg-Silkeborg section of the Skanderborg-Skjern railway.[2] The train services are currently operated by GoCollective which run frequent regional train services between Aarhus and Herning.[1]
Architecture
[edit]The station building was designed by the Danish architect Niels Peder Christian Holsøe.[5] It was later rebuilt by the Danish railway architects Heinrich Wenck[6] and Knud Tanggaard Seest.[7]
