Infrastructure: the road (E16) between Sandvika and Hønefoss has been Norway's most deadly, for the ten-year period that ended in 2021; nine people died.

[4] The municipality (originally the parish) is named after the old Hole farm (Old Norse: Hólar), since the first church was built there.

Hole is also known as one of the traditional landscapes from the Viking Age and plays a prominent role in the Norse sagas.

King Halfdan the Black of Vestfold conquered the Ringerike traditional district, including Hole, in about 830 AD.

As a result, his body was quartered; his head was buried in the mound at the Stein estate in Hole.

Most of the residents live in the villages of Sundvollen, Vik, Kroksund, Helgelandsmoen, Steinsåsen, Røyse, and Sollihøgda.

From the viewpoint "Kongens utsikt" which lies on Krokskogen, there are views of the landscape of Hole.

The main road between Oslo and Bergen, European route E16, runs through the community.

The current mayor is Per Ragnvald Berger (born 18 October 1952), representing Høyre, the Conservatives, reelected for 2011–2015.

The altarpiece is probably from the 1700s, featuring the Crucifixion and the Last Supper, surrounded by leaf ornaments, columns and sculptures.

It is located in a hilly landscape around 5 km southwest of Norderhov Church on a peninsula in Tyrifjord.

The restored church is built by sandstone from the district and consists of a long, rectangular nave and a narrower, almost square choir in the east.
