Åsane Church (Norwegian: Åsane kirke) is a parish church in Bergen municipality in Hordaland county, Norway. It is located in the borough of Åsane in the city of Bergen. The church is part of the Åsane parish in the Arna og Åsane deanery in the Diocese of Bjørgvin. The large, red, circular, brick church was built in 1993 by the architect Trygve Dyngeland to replace the Old Åsane Church which had recently burned down. This new church is larger, with 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 churchis 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.[1][2][3]
