Trim Castle Information

Trim Castle is located 40 kilometres north west of Dublin in county Meath. It is the largest Norman castle in Europe and was originally built in the late twelfth century by Hugh de Lacy and his son Walter, as an attempt to thwart the expansionist plans of Richard de Clare. During the late middle ages it was a centre for administration for the region.

The central tower, or Keep, is a unique 20 sided cruciform shape and lies nearby to the other remaining structure from the original fortifications. The Keep is accessible via a guided tour only while the rest of the site can be explored for a small entrance fee. Be aware that in the winter months the site is only open on weekends and bank holidays.
