Some fan theories discuss the possibility of Bran Stark actually being Bran the Builder, or at the very least, “warging” into him so that he could build The Wall and the fortresses of Winterfell. This is based on the previously big warg session of Bran, when he warged into Hodor, thus altering his past with the whole “Hold the door” scene

Some speculate the Bran knew about the coming attack of the White Walker, and thus constructed both The Wall and Winterfell fortresses to defend the living in the upcoming battle.
