Norderhov

[3] The municipality (originally the parish) was named after the old farm Norderhov (Old Norse: Njardarhof), since the first church was built there.

[4][5] The museum is noted for its collection of icons and runestones, as well as for its memorabilia relating to authors Peter Christen Asbjørnsen and Jørgen Moe.

Hjemmestyrkemuseet, located on the first floor of Ringerike museum, shows weapons and equipment from the German occupation of Norway.

The sacristy was extended to the east and with new, larger windows and a new lower ceiling and a new choir loft in 1881–1882.

Late on the evening of 28 March 1716, an army of King Charles XII of Sweden was confronted by Norwegian forces.

Anna Colbjørnsdatter, the spouse of pastor Jonas Danilssønn Ramus, sent an alert to Norwegians forces about the presence of the Swedes.

The event itself was published by Peter Andreas Munch in his book Norges, Sveriges og Danmarks Historie til Skolebrug (1838).
