[ˈsvæ̀ɽviːk] is a town[1] in Drammen Municipality in Buskerud county, Norway. The town is located along the west shore of the Drammensfjorden, about 20 kilometres (12 mi) to the southeast of the town of Drammen and about 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) north of the village of Berger. The village of Klokkarstua (in Asker Municipality) lies about 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the east, across the fjord.[4]
The 2.33-square-kilometre (580-acre) town has a population (2023) of 4,256 and a population density of 1,825 inhabitants per square kilometre (4,730/sq mi). The town lies mostly in Drammen Municipality, but a small part of the urban area of Svelvik lies on the other side of the fjord (which is only 200 metres (660 ft) wide at that point). About 130 people live right across the fjord in Asker Municipality.[2]
The newspaper Svelviksposten has been published in Svelvik since 1983.[5]
