Lygten Station in Copenhagen's NV district is a listed building from 1906, designed by railway architect Heinrich Wenck as the terminus of the private Copenhagen-Slangerup line. The station closed in 1976 and had various uses before reopening as a cultural venue in 2008. Today it has three stages and hosts concerts, stand-up comedy, theatre, film screenings and art exhibitions; rooms can also be hired for cultural events.
