Asker

Asker is best known within Norway for Skaugum, the official residence of the Crown Prince and Crown Princess. The town lies west of Oslo, where wooded uplands descend towards the Oslofjord. Its wider municipality stretches from established suburban neighbourhoods to a lengthy fjord shoreline of islands, coves and boating communities, keeping the coast close to daily life. Near the centre stands Asker Church, a medieval parish church rebuilt after a fire in 1878. Rail connections place Asker on the main route between Oslo and Drammen, while local paths and waterfront areas provide an easy change of pace from the capital.
