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. The property occupies a central role in the Høiby affair, where Marius Borg Høiby is alleged to have raped women in the cellar of the main house and hosted so-called "Skaugum festivals" with criminal friends there, where drugs were distributed and consumed.
