Our Visit to Trim Castle

This past weekend we visited Trim Castle, one of the largest Norman castles in Ireland.  It was built by Hugh de Lacy in 1172,  The castle stands in the city of Trim, which is north of Dublin (the capital of Ireland).  The massive 70 ft. high central keep has 20 sides overlooking the River Boyne. 

This castle hosted King Henry V of England in 1399.

Braveheart, starring Mel Gibson, was filmed at Trim Castle in 1994.
