La Martiniere Decoded
(Operates every day. Subject to permission from school)
La Martiniere College, an impressive building, resembling a castle yet never intended for residential use, holds a fascinating story. It reflects the journey of Claude Martin, a Frenchman who rose to the rank of Major General in the British East India Company. His remarkable achievements and philanthropic endeavors ultimately led to the establishment of this prestigious institution, which stands proudly on the banks of the Gomti River and is truly unparalleled in India. Interestingly, La Martiniere even received ‘The Battle Honours’ for its role in the defense of the Residency in 1857, a testament to its rich history.
We are delighted to offer a specially curated tour, ‘La Martiniere Decoded’, which will allow you to delve into the depths of this iconic school. During the tour, we will explore the La Martiniere campus, uncovering hidden aspects and gaining insights into not only its historical significance but also its educational and administrative practices. You’ll also have the opportunity to enjoy tea and snacks either at the school canteen or during a specially arranged session.
