Train service began by the Zealand Railway Company (Danish: Det Sjællandske Jernbaneselskab (DSJS)) in 1863 and was taken over by DSB in 1864. The current station building was built in 1897. Like the other stations on the Øresund line, it was designed by Heinrich Wenck. The station was among the first served by the S-train, as service began on the 3 of April 1934 when the line Frederiksberg-Vanløse-Hellerup-Klampenborg was opened.
In line with the stations on the Coast line, as well as of Heinrich Wenck's work in general, the station is designed in National Romantic style. The station site also include an open waiting area covered by an elaborate cast iron roof. All buildings are listed.[3]
Klampenborg station is used as a location in the popular 1953 Danish family comedy film Father of Four, and the 2000 Danish black comedy crime film Flickering Lights.[4]
