Ask, Hordaland

Ask is a village in the eastern part of Askøy municipality, Hordaland county, Norway. Ask is well known for raising strawberries, which are sold in the market place at Bergen during the summer season. Due to its pleasant climate and its location on an island convenient to Bergen, Ask was the location of a kongsgård (i.e., royal farm – the Norwegian equivalent of a palace) and an extremely old church and churchyard was also located in Ask. The former location of the church (from ~1200 until 1741) is today marked by a stone cross. Ask is the saga location for a famous dispute over inheritance between Egill Skallagrímsson and Berg-Önundr.
