Vetrarhöllin (Faldarunic: ᚡᛂᛐᚱᛆᚱᚼᚮᛚᛚᛁᚿ) is a large palace structure in Auðugurhöfn, Faldarun. It has a rich history dating back to 1755, when then-King Ásbjörn II ordered it's construction in the early portion of his reign. Although he aimed to finish it before his coronation as the first Faldarunic Emperor, construction was not finished fully until 1766, six years after. Upon completion, the roughly 2,000 room palace became the main residence of the monarchs of Faldarun until 1918, in which the building was stormed by anarchist troops during the Battle for Auðugurhöfn as part of the Faldarunic Civil War.
After it's seizure by the anarchists, it became a headquarters and meeting place for the communes of the area surrounding, and including, Auðugurhöfn. Additionally, it also served as the headquarters of the local Confederal forces during this time. When the civil war came to an end, the palace was converted into short-term social housing, in order to combat the housing crisis that the city, and country, was facing at that time. In 1926, after roughly seven years use as social housing, it was decided that the palace would become a museum dedicated mostly to pre-revolutionary history. To this day, the Vetrarhöllin Museum is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Auðugurhöfn and all of Faldarun.
