Ask Chapel (Norwegian: Ask kapell) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Ringerike Municipality in Buskerud county, Norway. It is located in the village of Ask. It is one of the churches for the Norderhov og Ask parish which is part of the Ringerike prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Tunsberg. The brown, wooden church was built in a long church design in 1936 using plans drawn up by the architect L.W. Wilhelmsen. The church seats about 150 people.

History

The building was designed by L.W. Wilhelmsen. The construction work was led by Hans E. Sætrang with builder Christian Pettersen.
