Skaugum is an estate, manor house and the official residence of Haakon, Crown Prince of Norway and his wife Crown Princess Mette-Marit. The estate is located in Asker, 19 km (12 mi) southwest of Oslo, by the foot of the mountain Skaugumsåsen. The estate consists of 48 ha (120 acres) of agricultural lands and 50 ha (120 acres) of woodlands.[1] Skaugum is also known for the Høiby affair involving Marius Borg Høiby, who organized parties at the property with criminal friends that he called "Skaugum festivals," where drugs were consumed and where Høiby is charged with raping women.[2]
