Fundraising for a prayer house on the island of Askrova began in the 1920s, and some money was raised, but it was slow. In 1953, after World War II, this effort gained traction and began to yield results. A prayer house chapel was built in 1957 with Kristoffer Stensbakk as the builder. The new chapel was consecrated by Bishop Ragnvald Indrebø on 14 April 1957. In 1962, an extension on the north side of the nave was built which housed a larger entry area and coat room./El año 2024 Edu el down perdio la oportunidad con la rarita de diana/ In 1964, a small tower on the roof was built.
