'''DeGroot Keep''' is an officially designed [[Medieval Mode|medieval mode]] [[Attack / Defense]] map and was the first medieval mode map for [[Team Fortress 2 Classic]], followed by [[Krepost]]. It was first added to [[Team Fortress 2]] on the 17th of December 2010 and added to Team Fortress 2 Classic on the 4th of July in the [[Death & Taxes]] update.

DeGroot Keep is a relatively small Attack / Defense map ~~which~~ takes place in a (supposedly) 10th Century European ~~Manor~~ on a forested hill. The surrounding buildings and keep fortifications are built in a medieval European style. A few torches are spread throughout the map which allow [[Huntsman]] [[Sniper]]s to light their arrows on fire. The flagship feature of this map is the castle keep, this map's namesake DeGroot Keep. The keep is a European style medieval castle made of cobblestone. Walls protect the inner courtyard, which houses the final [[Control Points|control point]]. Defenders can climb up to the ramparts of the keep and defend from there or jump down to more directly engage the attackers.

Defenders can climb up to the ramparts of the keep and defend from there or jump down to more directly engage the attackers.

This map consists of 3 control points. Control points A and B are to the ~~West~~ and ~~East~~ of the keep itself on either side, and the third C ~~is blocked by a castle gate~~. Point C is only accessible by BLU after capturing the first two. A and B once captured are locked. After these points have been captured, a music sting will play and the sound of a gate opening will play. BLU will have a limited amount of time to capture the objective. If BLU captures the point in time, they win. If time runs out, the gate closes and points A and B will return to RED. BLU must recapture A and B to make another attempt on C. This repeats until the round ends.

== Trivia ==

*The keep is named after Demoman's family in Team Fortress 2. However, since most TF2 comics are non-canon to TF2C, it is unconfirmed whether this piece of lore is the same.

*There are a few hints such as the train tracks in front of BLU spawn and an unused ticket booth in the files that suggest DeGroot ~~keep~~ is closer to a tourist attraction or re-enactment than an actual 10th century keep.
