Valhalla (Old Norse Valhöll,”hall of the slain”), in Old Norse mythology, the hall of slain heroes, ruled by the king of the gods, Odin, in the realm of the gods, Asgard.
The hall had 540 doors, through each of which 800 heroes could walk abreast, and the roof was made of shields.
The souls of heroic soldiers killed in battle were brought to Valhalla by warrior maidens called Valkyries. The heroes fought during the day, but their wounds healed before night, when they banqueted with Odin.

Valhalla is Odin’s Hall, and Fensalir is Frigga’s Hall. Two different Halls. And Valhalla is for those that Odin pick, who had die in battle, and where the others goes is Fólkvangr.
Hail Odin!!!

I thought Odin took half of the slain heroes to Valhalla and Freyja took the other half to Sessrumnir.

540 divides into 432,000 eight hundred times. They are the numbers for Ragnarok.

Valhalla is somewhat like a hotel, it’s only a temporary stay for the dead warriors. They stay there til Ragnarok come

Bear in mind, folks, this site has Norse mythology as told by Snorri Sturluson. The things you remember that are different may have come from later poets than Snorri.
