Høje Taastrup station (Danish pronunciation: [ˈhʌjə ˈtsʰʌˌstʁɔp stæˈɕoˀn]) is a railway station in Høje-Taastrup municipality, Denmark, opened on 31 May 1986.
The station is one of the largest in Denmark. It is the terminus of S-train services B and Bx on the Taastrup radial. The station is further served by regional, InterCity and even international trains.[1]
At the south end of the railroad station complex stands "Thor's Tower" (Torstårnet), the tallest sculpture in the Nordic countries. The railway station itself has three distinctive arches, which have become a symbol of the municipality, and have given rise to the moniker "The City of Arches" (Danish: Buernes By, which in a play on words sounds remarkably similar to the phrase Byernes By or "The City of Cities").
