Eidsvoll Station (Norwegian: Eidsvoll stasjon) was a railway station located in Eidsvoll, Norway, on the Trunk Line. It opened in 1854 as the terminus of Norway's first railway, and remained in use until 1998, when the construction of the Gardermoen Line forced the opening of a new station.
After the station opened, there was discussion about establishing a hotel in the station building. The hotel opened in 1869. From 14 October 1924, the operation of the 20-room hotel was transferred to Norsk Spisevognselskap,[1] who also took over the restaurant.[2]
