History
The station was opened as the Giessendam-Oudekerk railway station on 16 July 1885. To the east, outside the two villages, was the Hardinxveld-Giessendam railway station. When the latter was closed down on 15 May 1927, the Giessendam-Oudekerk station was renamed "Giessendam-Neder Hardinxveld". The station building was severely damaged during World War II, and was demolished in 1945. On 2 June 1957, the name of the station was changed to its current name, and a year later a new station building was constructed. The building is now used as a restaurant.
