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.
