The Ask church was consecrated in 1908 and restored in 1954-55. The first attempt to build a new church on Ask failed in 1872 as the town council did not agree with the idea, but in 1903 a committee was appointed to find land, plans, financing and permits. The designs chosen to build the church later were an improved version of Sandeid's church in Ryfylke.
Åsane Old Church is a long church from 1795. A church is mentioned on the same site as early as 1598. The stone church, more or less as we know it today, was consecrated by Bishop Johan Nordahl Brun. In the 19th century, several changes were made. In 1935, the church was restored by the architect Ole Landmark. A brick vestry was built perpendicular to the north wall of the choir.
The Åsane church is a 1993 church designed by Trygve Dyngeland. It replaces an old church dating from 1795 which was destroyed by arson by Varg Vikernes in 1992. The new church is made of brick and has been given a circular shape inspired by the Monte Celio in Rome.
