Hasle Church is a church in the neighborhood of Hasle in the city of Oslo, Norway.[1]

The church was designed by architect Harald Hille and was consecrated by bishop Johannes Smemo on December 11, 1960. It is a yellow brick church. There is a separate bell tower. Church orientation is from northeast to southwest. The church room itself can seat about 270 people, and there is an adjoining church hall. In addition, the built-in kitchen, church room, meeting room, offices and two rooms as well as shelters. There is a small sacristy near the organ. The church organ has 14 voices and was put into service a month after the church was consecrated.[2][3]

The altar tapestry is created by Kari-Bjørg Ile. On the west wall of the ward hall also hangs a former altarpiece from a former church building in central Oslo. The church underwent rehabilitation work in 2019.[2]

The church is listed by the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage.[4]
