[3] It is served regularly by trains on the A-line which have a journey time to central Copenhagen of around 20 minutes.

[2][6] The original station building from 1864 was built to designs by the Danish architect Vilhelm Carl Heinrich Wolf (1833–1893).

However, the opening of the station led to economic growth in the area and several brickyards opened in the area in the second half of the 19th century, and construction of new residential neighbourhoods accelerated in the 1940s which, in time, made the old village of Birkerød merge with the villages of Bistrup to the south, Kajerød to the west and Ravnsnæs to the east, so today the station is located in the centre of the town.

[1] In 1984, the local art association arranged for the controversial Danish artist, film director and musician Jens Jørgen Thorsen to decorate an empty concrete wall at the station.

[13] After being approached by the Christian People's Party, the then Minister of Transport Arne Melchior ordered the Danish State Railways to have the art work painted over.
