DeGroot Keep is a Medieval Mode Attack / Defense map, set around a convincing simulacra of a fortress from eras past. As the map is Medieval, players can only equip melee weapons and a limited selection of non-melee weapons. BLU team's goal is to capture all three Control Points at once. When both Point A and Point B are captured, the gate to Point C is opened for 60 seconds. If 60 seconds have passed and Point C is uncontested, all three points become RED, and Point C is locked again.

DeGroot Keep was added to Team Fortress 2 Classic on July 4, 2020, in the Death & Taxes update. It was created by Valve, and was prior added to Team Fortress 2 on December 17, 2010.

Going into the breach, Point A is set in a little town to the left, and Point B is set on a cliffside to the right.
