Slagelse railway station (Danish: Slagelse Station or Slagelse Banegård) is the main railway station serving the town of Slagelse in southwestern Zealand, Denmark.[1] It is located in the centre of the town, on the northern edge of the historic town centre, and immediately adjacent to the Slagelse bus station.
Slagelse station is located on the main line Copenhagen–Fredericia railway from Copenhagen to Funen and Jutland. It is also the southern terminus of the Tølløse branch line from Slagelse to Tølløse on the Northwest Line.
