Construction and opening

In July 1926, it was reported that work was to resume on the Sabor line on the section beyond Carviçais, after a long period of interruption. By this time, several stations had already been completed for several years, including the one at Freixo de Espada à Cinta. The passenger building was located on the southeast side of the track. The section between Carviçais and Lagoaça opened for service on July 6, 1927.

Road connections

Between 1931 and 1935, the Junta Autónoma das Estradas connected this station to the town of Freixo de Espada à Cinta (today's EN220), shortening the distance by road to 19 km.
