Trim Castle

Trim Castle was founded by Hugh de Lacy in 1173. Rory O'Connor destroyed it a year later. The castle you see today was the replacement built around 1200 AD.
You have probably already seen Trim Castle in the Oscar winning film Braveheart. The scenes where the Scots storm York Castle - they are in fact storming Trim Castle.
