Although the railway is long since closed, the station is still used as a bus terminal. The building was designed by Heinrich Wenck, head architect with the Danish State Railways. Although the railway was opened in 1914, the station was first completed in 1917. Beside the station, you will find the old post office, built in 1915. In those days, it was only natural that the post office was next to the station, thus gathering all means of communication in one place. From there, you can continue down Banegårdsvej. On the left is the beautiful old water tower, built in 1931 and one of the town's main landmarks. Note the building at the back, dating from 1956. Unfortunately, it is a bit dilapidated now, but it is a fine piece of architecture nevertheless. On the right is a high school. The building originally housed the town's power station and has been extensively converted over the years. It was built in 1912 and considerably extended in 1920. It is also worth having a quick look at the houses on the right-hand side of Skolegade. These buildings are typical examples of railway town architecture.
Continue on down towards the museum, passing 25-27 Borgergade, originally the doctor's surgery, and the town's oldest house. On the left is the beautiful old chemist's, built in 1909. Before the railway came, this was the town's most expensive house.
Turn left at the chemist's, and enjoy the splendour of the church, which was extensively refurbished in 1921-23. Turn right along Solvej where there are many good views of the old railway town. On the left is the Hospital of South-Western Jutland, built in 1903 and originally simply called Grindsted Hospital. Although now, you would be hard pushed to find an original brick anywhere in the building. Rest a moment at the corner of Solvej and Vestergade. If you've time, you can go down to the river from here and enjoy the park and the beautiful old building Bakkehuset. Otherwise, you should turn right into Vestergade and continue up to the square, Grindsted town centre. There are some magnificent buildings on the square, most dating from 1915-20. There is a tempting sweet shop and a restaurant and café where you can sit and enjoy the sight of an old town square with a brand-new look. And just think; less than 100 years ago, there was nothing here but a dusty lane.
