Gimlé is the hall where the righteous live after Ragnarok in Norse mythology.
The name Gimlé is generally interpreted as “fire-proof” or “shelter from fire.” It is described as a bright and beautiful place that survives the cosmic destruction and receives people who are considered good.
The post-Ragnarok world contains several destinations in the surviving texts, and their descriptions are not completely identical. Gimlé is therefore best treated as a refuge or hall in the renewed world rather than as simply another name for Valhalla.
Valhalla is Odin’s hall for selected warriors who die in battle, while Nóatún belongs to the sea god Njörðr and Thrymheim is associated with the giant Þjazi and the goddess Skaði. Gimlé’s defining feature is its place in the world after the catastrophe.
