[5] The station building was designed by the architect Thomas Arboe.

On 7 January 1879, at the opening of the Limfjord Railway Bridge, the Vendsyssel line was connected with Aalborg station, the Randers-Aalborg railway line and the rest of the Danish rail network.

Inside the station building there is a combined ticket office and convenience store operated by 7-Eleven, waiting room, toilets and lockers.

The station offers direct regional rail services to Aalborg and Frederikshavn, as well as local train services to Hirtshals, both operated by Nordjyske Jernbaner.

[4] Hjørring station is used as a location in the 1976 Bodil Award-winning Danish film Den korte sommer.
