Brave heart film location Trim Castle Irelands largest Anglo Norman Castle

This massive and complex stone castle was constructed during the late 12^th and early 13^th centuries. In 1172 Hugh de Lacy is recorded as building a castle at Trim, however what we see today clearly replaced an early motte-and-bailey structure believed to be attributed to Hugh de Lacy, which was destroyed a year after its completion by Rory O’Connor, King of Connaught. The date for the castle keep is a little more difficult to pinpoint however it is agreed it was started by Hugh de Lacy and was constructed in three separate phases, with additions perhaps over a 50 year period. Today the views from the castle keep around the town are fantastic, however we should never forget that as you looked at this structure in 13^th century it stood three stories high had 20 separate sides, the rendered lime-washed facades with there red sandstone dressings, its hoardings and battlements portrayed awesome power.
