Brandy Hall, as seen in The Lord of the Rings Online
Brandy Hall was a smial built by Gorhendad Oldbuck, who changed his name to "Brandybuck". It was the ancestral home of the influential Brandybuck family that was located in Bucklebury, the chief settlement of the Hobbit territory of Buckland.
Brandy Hall was deeply delved within Buck Hill in the center of Buckland, being expanded as the Brandybuck family grew. By the time of the War of the Ring, the hall covered the entire hill, and contained "three large front-doors, many side-doors, and about a hundred windows."[1] Since the Brandybucks and their many relatives began to outgrow the hall, they started to construct houses and holes in Buck Hill's vicinity. The Gaffer referred to it as "a regular warren." It was Frodo Baggins' childhood home before he was taken in by his uncle Bilbo Baggins.[2]
Around a century into the Fourth Age, Brandy Hall established one of the greatest libraries of documents or volumes recording the histories of Eriador and Rohan. Many of the texts kept in Brandy Hall were fully or partly written by Meriadoc Brandybuck, and these included Herblore of the Shire, the Reckoning of Years, and the short treatise Old Words and Names in the Shire.
The head of the Brandybuck family was called the Master of the Hall or Master of Buckland, as he resided within Brandy Hall and had authority that was acknowledged throughout the territory.
