I've been told many stories about this school ever since my college days (few of my friends studied here). I had no mental picture of this place to relate all the stories to, hence I decided to see it for myself. I visited La Martiniere College, Boys during school hours. All I had to do was to enter my name... More

As my son is studying in this school....we are visiting very frequent. School has completed 150 years of there foundation. Really seeing the building, it is amazing...example of art & culture....on the river bank of Gomti.....The river view is very fantastic...... Those who are visiting Lucknow.....shall also take some time to see the La Martiniere empire.

Great to see that this place continues to have a use in modern times. Amazing building,like something out of a Gothic film. See the names of former pupils from many years ago written on the steps. Charismatic

Historical building. The College consists of a magnificent eighteenth century building, to which other imposing structures have been periodically added. “Constantia”, the imposing centre-point of La Martiniere, was the country house of Major-General Claude Martin. On 1 October, 1995, the one hundred and fiftieth Anniversary of the opening of the College, the President of India, acknowledged the contribution of the... More

Hi, Can anyone tell me how to get admitted my son in that college? We live in France but belong to Uttar Pradesh. I want my son to be educated in this institute. This looks historic and I went once long time back. I don't remember the place exactly but I was impressed with its old beautiful building.

Is it a school or a palace ? you check for yourself. The teachers and students were very nice to me and my guide Narayan... More

Historical and that's about it. The place (other than the central part of the building with the bust of Maj General Claude Martin) needs major sprucing up. The chapel has an unkempt air. I looked into some seemingly abandoned rooms which had bits and pieces of furniture which at one time must have been good but now it's all just... More
