La Martiniere College

La Martinière College is one of India's most extraordinary heritage institutions — a UNESCO-listed Gothic-Baroque building founded in 1845, built by French adventurer Claude Martin with an architecture that defies easy description: part European palace, part Mughal fantasy. Still an active school, it is one of the finest colonial-era structures in Uttar Pradesh. A top Lucknow heritage sightseeing and photography destination. Best viewed from the main gates; limited interior public access.
