Våle is known for being the village where the Jarlsberg cheese first was produced. Famous residents of Våle include the author Kåre Holt (1916–1997). == The name and coat of arms == The municipality (originally the parish) was named after the old farm Våle (Norse ''Válir''), since the first church was built there. The name is the plural form of ''váll'' m (see Våler). The municipality coat of arms was a Mistletoe, since the mistletoe grows several places in the village. In Norse mythology Hod killed Balder with a misletoe, and Våle has to revenge his death. Until 1921 the name was written "Vaale". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Våle」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
