The church in Asker is a typical long neo-Gothic church made of red bricks. It was built in 1879 by the builder Kepler and the mason Arnesen according to the drawings of the architect J. W. Nordan. On the same site, there was a stone church in the Middle Ages. The interior is characterised by the renovation in 1930 when a large part of the old one was replaced.
