Architecture
edit
Kalundborg railway station's first station building was built in 1874 to designs by the Danish architect Adolf Ahrens.[2]
The first station building was torn down in 1960 to make way for the second and current station building in modernist style that was built in 1960 to designs by the Danish architect Ole Ejnar Bonding in his capacity of head architect of the Danish State Railways from 1958 to 1979.[3] It is in the same uncompromising modernist architectural style as Bonding's other station buildings in Skive, Nykøbing Falster, Vojens, Brønderslev, Rødekro, Holbæk, Svanemøllen and Herning.[3]
