Høje-Taastrup train station in Høje Taastrup, Denmark.

Høje Taastrup station is a railway station in Høje-Taastrup municipality, Denmark, opened on May 30, 1986.

The station is one of the largest in Denmark. It is the terminus of S-train services B and B+ on the Taastrup radial, and it is serviced by regional and InterCity and even international trains, as well as express bus 400S.

At the south end of the railroad station complex stands "Thor's Tower" (Torstårnet), the tallest sculpture in the Nordic countries. The train 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").
