History The station was opened in 1908. The station building was designed by the architect Paul Armin Due (1870-1926) and is a hybrid between the National Romantic style and the Jugendstil. The building was renovated in 1963 with the addition of lavatories. In 2002 the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage declared the building worthy of protection.Protection order for "Haugastøl station and Sløtfjord guard's home on the Bergen Line, Hol municipality in Buskerud" (Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage), In Norwegian
