Heorot is Hrothgar's great mead hall, constructed for his warriors. It is a place for gathering... and Hrothgar's palace. It is described as "the foremost of halls under heaven', constructed of timber and gilded in gold.

Then, as I have heard, the work of constructing a buildingWas proclaimed to many a tribe throughout this middle earth.In time—quickly, as such things happen among men—It was all ready, the biggest of halls.He whose word was lawFar and wide gave it the name "Heorot".

The men did not dally; they strode inland in a groupUntil they were able to discern the timbered hall,Splendid and ornamented with gold.The building in which that powerful man held courtWas the foremost of halls under heaven;Its radiance shone over many lands.
