Asker Church

The red brick church structure features neo-Gothic architectural elements, incorporating tall windows and detailed stonework across its exterior facade.

Built in 1879 by architect Jacob Wilhelm Nordan, the church underwent renovations in 1930 led by architects Gudolf Blakstad and Herman Munthe-Kaas.

The church hosted the wedding of Princess Ragnhild and Erling Lorentzen in 1953, with a statue of Crown Princess Märtha standing at its entrance.

Located at coordinates 59.843333 latitude and 10.436639 longitude, the church maintains regular religious services and community gatherings throughout the year.

The name Asker derives from the Old Norse term Askar, referring to ash trees that grew on the original farm where the first church was built.
