Åsane Church
Åsane Church is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Bergen Municipality in Vestland county, Norway. It is located in the borough of Åsane in the city of Bergen. It is the church for the Åsane parish which is part of the Åsane prosti in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The large, red, brick church was built in a circular style in 1993 using designs by the architect Trygve Dyngeland. The church seats about 600 people. The church was built to replace the Old Åsane Church which had recently had a large fire.
This new church is larger than the Old Åsane Church. This building has 350 seats in the main sanctuary. There are also adjoining rooms with movable walls, so the seating can expand up to about 600 people. The new church is also more functional that the previous church with a kitchen, office space, a fellowship hall, not to mention the addition of bathroom facilities which were not available in the old church. The basement of the church can fit up to 400 people for other social gatherings. This church was consecrated on 19 December 1993.Media gallery
