Old Åsane Church

The stone building features a long church design with traditional Norwegian architectural elements and stands against the Bergen landscape at coordinates 60.4751, 5.3257.

Constructed in 1795 on the site of a 13th-century wooden stave church, the structure underwent reconstruction after a fire in December 1992.

The church maintains strong ties to local traditions, serving the Åsane parish within the Diocese of Bjørgvin for nearly two centuries.

While no longer holding regular services since 1993, the church continues to host special occasions such as weddings, funerals, and ceremonial events.

Local records indicate that builders constructed the stone church around an existing wooden chapel, allowing continuous worship during the construction phase.
