10 Things You May Not Know About The Valhalla Condo In Oliver
Fri, 08 Jun
1. You’ll Love The Viking Theme
According to the Encylcopedia of Brittanica: Valhalla, Old Norse Valhöll, in Norse mythology, the hall of slain warriors, who live there blissfully under the leadership of the god Odin. Valhalla is depicted as a splendid palace, roofed with shields, where the warriors feast on the flesh of a boar slaughtered daily and made whole again each evening. They drink liquor that flows from the udders of a goat, and their sport is to fight one another every day.
The Valhalla in Oliver, lives up to this name with playful Viking imagery through out the building and with its other aesthetic elements.
