Trim Castle
Trim Castle is a large Cambro-Norman castle on the south bank of the River Boyne in Trim, County Meath, Ireland. Its central cruciform three-storey keep dominates a broad inner bailey defended by multi-phase curtain walls, gate-towers and a forework; many elements survive as substantial masonry remains and have been conserved for public access.

As it stood in 1224
The shape it held in its prime.
Sited on raised ground above the River Boyne, the castle is dominated by a central cruciform three-storey stone keep (twenty external corners) rising above an irregular inner bailey. Surrounding curtain walls show multiple phases and include rectangular and round towers and two principal gates; a three-towered forework protects the keep entrance and a long three-aisled great hall sits along the inner range. The masonry is grey stone and the complex opens toward the river with visible causeways and a water-gate.
