Sign in to saveAlso known as Royken Kommune
Røyken is a district and village (bygd) and a former municipality in Buskerud, Norway.

Because Viken seized to exist, all of the new Asker Municipality became part of Akershus County. The administrative centre of the municipality is the village of Midtbygda.
