Trim Castle was created by Hugh de Lacy near
the banks of the Boyne. His goal was to build the largest Norman castle in
Ireland. The castle guarded the northwest approach to Dublin and became
the keystone of Norman power in its area of Ireland.

The keep is the main part of the castle, and was built in a twenty sided
cruciform shape. It had many protections including a ditch, long curtain
walls and a moat. The keep was three stories tall which had living quarters,
the Great Hall and a small chapel.
