Vingólf

"Friend-hall", "Wine-hall?" The hall — or hörgr — of the Ásynjur, which was built after Glaðsheimr, according to Snorri Sturluson in Gylfaginning:

They made also a second hall: that was a shrine which the goddesses had, and it was a very fair house; men call it Vingólf.

Odin assigns places to the slain in both Valhalla and Vingólf. Snorri also refers to Vingólf as the dwelling of the righteous souls in Ásgarðr (see Gimlé).
