Hedehusene station opened on 27 June 1847 as one of the original intermediate stops on the new railway line from Copenhagen to Roskilde, the first railway line in the Kingdom of Denmark^[a].^[5] The railway line was completed for Det Sjællandske Jernbaneselskab (English: the Zealand Railway Company) by British engineering company William Radford.^[2] The station originally opened as a railway halt where the railway line crossed the highway between Copenhagen and Roskilde.^[2] It was promoted to a railway station in 1880.^[2]

The station building in 2008.

The station's second and current station building was built in 1917 to designs by Danish architect Heinrich Wenck (1851–1936), known for the numerous railway stations he designed across Denmark in his capacity of head architect of the Danish State Railways from 1894 to 1921.^[3]

DSB IC4-train calling at Hedehusene in 2017.

The train services are operated by the national railway company DSB. The station offers regional train services to Copenhagen, Elsinore, and Roskilde.^[1]

^ The first railway line in the then Danish Monarchy was the Kiel-Altona railway line in the Duchy of Holstein which had been completed three years earlier. However, the Duchy of Holstein was later lost to the Kingdom of Prussia after the Second Schleswig War in 1864, and that railway line is today part of the German rail network.^[4]
