Hole Church, Medieval church in Ringerike, Norway

Hole Church stands on a peninsula in Tyrifjord, constructed with local sandstone and containing 350 seats for congregants.

The original church dates back to 1200, with only the nave surviving from the Romanesque stone structure after multiple reconstructions through centuries.

The church contains an 18th-century altarpiece titled 'Communion' and a 16th-century artwork depicting the Crucifixion and Resurrection.

Located at Prestegårdsveien 111 in Røyse, the church provides drinking water, benches, and a pilgrim stamp for visitors.

The church served as an election venue during the establishment of the Norwegian constitution in 1814, marking its role in national governance.
