## History

The first railway station seen on an 1856 target from Slagelse Shooting Society.

The first station building..

The first railway station in Slagelse was constructed in 1856 as a stop on the railway between [Roskilde](/source/Roskilde) and [Korsør](/source/Kors%C3%B8r). The section from Copenhagen to Roskilde had already been inaugurated in 1847. The station was located some 500 metres outside Slagelse. The official inauguration of the rail line took place on 26 April 1856. King [Frederick VII](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Frederick_VII_of_Fenmark&action=edit&redlink=1) and [Countess Danner](/source/Countess_Danner) were among the passengers of the first train that stopped at the station. They briefly left the train in Slagelse. The train made another stop at Dr¨by Railway Bridge just west of the city to allow for the official guests to admire the structure. Trains left twice daily in each direction. The travel time from Copenhagen to Slagelse was two hours and 43 minutes.[6]

From the inauguration of the new station, 1892..

Slagelse station's second and current station building was built from 1891 to 1892 to designs by the Danish architect [Niels Peder Christian Holsøe](/source/Niels_Peder_Christian_Hols%C3%B8e) (1826–1895), known for the numerous [railway stations](/source/Railway_station) he designed across Denmark in his capacity of head architect of the [Danish State Railways](/source/DSB_(railway_company)).[5] The station building was listed in 1992.[7] The new station building was constructed in conjunction with the decision to build the Slagelse-[Næstved](/source/N%C3%A6stved), [Dalmose](/source/Dalmose)-Skælskør and Slagelse-[Værslev](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=V%C3%A6rslev&action=edit&redlink=1) rail lines. The more central location of the new station building in Slagelse made it necessary to move 23,000 cubic metres of soil. The Slagelse-Næstved and Dalmose-Skælskør lines were inaugurated on 15 May 1892.[6]
