Ettelbruck railway station (Luxembourgish: Gare Ettelbréck, French: Gare de Ettelbruck, German: Bahnhof Ettelbrück) is a railway station serving Ettelbruck, in central Luxembourg. It is operated by Chemins de Fer Luxembourgeois, the state-owned railway company.
The station is situated on Line 10, which connects Luxembourg City to the centre and north of the country. Ettelbruck is a junction, with the main line heading further northwards, towards Gouvy and Wiltz, and a branch line connecting to Diekirch.
The original station was completed in 1862.[3] In 2014, the Chamber of Deputies voted in favour of modernizing the station, including replacing the original station building, at a cost of €156.5 million.[4] The old station was demolished in 2022, and as of November 2025, the wider project, which also includes a road underpass and a large youth hostel, is due to be completed between 2027 and 2029.[3][5][6][7]
As of 2022, it was the fourth-busiest station in Luxembourg, with over 1.7 million passengers that year.[2]
