Trinity College is a college of the University of Cambridge in England. With around 600 undergraduates, 300 graduates, and over 180 fellows, it is the largest of the Oxbridge universities by number of undergraduate students. The main entrance to the college is through the Great Gate on the way to the Great Court. In 1704, the university constructed the first astronomical observatory on top of the gatehouse. Great Court was built between 1599 and 1608. To make space for it, Thomas Nevile removed several buildings from this site, including most of the former college of Michaelhouse. Nevile's Court, constructed in 1614, is located between Great Court and the river. Cloisters run around the court, providing walkways to the college and Wren library. Wren Library is one of Cambridge's most famous and well-endowed libraries. New Court or King's Court; was built in 1825 in Tudor-Gothic style.
