Ryomgård station is a railway station serving the railway town of Ryomgård on the peninsula of Djursland in Jutland, Denmark. The station opened in 1876 with the opening of the Randers-Ryomgaard-Grenaa Line. The train services are currently operated by the railway company DSB which run frequent local train services between Aarhus and Grenaa as part of the Aarhus Commuter Rail service.

History

The station opened on 26 August 1876 as the railway company Østjyske Jernbane (ØJJ) opened the railway line Randers-Ryomgaard-Grenaa from Randers to Grenaa. In 1877, ØJJ opened a branch line from Ryomgård to Aarhus, and just a few years later the trains starting running directly between Grenaa and Aarhus, with the Ryomgård-Randers section being reduced to a branch line used mostly for rail freight transport until it was closed altogether on 2 May 1971.

In 1911, Ryomgård station became the southern terminus of the Ryomgård-Gjerrild Line from Ryomgård to the town of Gjerrild which in 1917 was prolonged from Gjerrild to Grenaa. The Ryomgård-Gjerrild-Grenaa Line was closed in 1956.
