== Architecture == {{stack|thumb|Strandby station in 2009}} Strandby station's station building in Neoclassical style was built in 1922 to designs by the Danish architect Ulrik Plesner (1861–1931), known in particular for his influence on the architectural style practiced in Skagen and the surrounding area.<ref name=WeilbachPlesner/>

In 2006, the station infrastructure was renovated with new platforms and a new shelter.<ref name=DanskeJernbaner/>
