Steinkjer Station was built as part of Hell–Sunnan Line and opened on 15 November 1905 along with the rest of the line north of Verdal Station. The original name of the station was Steinkjær but on 5 June 1925, the spelling was changed to the present Steinkjer.{{Cite web |title=Steinkjer stasjon |url=http://forsk.njk.no/stdb/index.php?mod=st&aut=&detaljert=1&baneID=143&Stnr=4515&sid=1669 |access-date=2011-07-15 |publisher=Norwegian Railway Club |language=Norwegian}}{{Cite web |title=Steinkjer |url=http://www.jernbaneverket.no/no/Jernbanen/Stasjonssok/-S-/Steinkjer/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130328211407/http://www.jernbaneverket.no/no/Jernbanen/Stasjonssok/-S-/Steinkjer/ |archive-date=2013-03-28 |access-date=2011-07-15 |publisher=Jernbaneverket |language=Norwegian}}{{Cite web |title=Steinkjer station |url=http://www.nsb.no/stations_st/steinkjer-station-article26601-2772.html |access-date=2011-07-15 |publisher=Norges Statsbaner}}

Steinkjer Station was designed by architect Paul Armin Due. He designed a number of other stations built by the Norwegian State Railways, including virtually all stations north of Levanger on Hell–Sunnanbanen and many stations on Bergensbanen, including all those in Hallingdal. The building is on two floors with living quarters for the station master on the second floor. The building was built in Art Nouveau architectural style with marked portals.{{Cite web |last=Geir Tandberg Steigan |title=Arkitekter:Paul Franz Wilhelm Armin Due (1870-1926) |url=http://www.artemisia.no/arc/arkitekter/norge/due.paul.armin.html |access-date=2017-12-01 |publisher=artemisia.no}}
