Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, often evokes images of grand Nawabi architecture, lively bazaars, and tantalizing kebabs. But beyond the famed Bada Imambara and Rumi Darwaza lies an offbeat side of this city-a side filled with hidden stories, quiet beauty, and intriguing landmarks that many travelers miss. In this second chapter of exploring offbeat North India, we'll venture into Lucknow's lesser-known nooks, where the city's rich history and vibrant culture come alive in unexpected ways.
La Martinière College: Gothic Grandeur with a Story
La Martinière College, with its striking Gothic architecture, feels more like a European castle than an Indian school. Founded by the French adventurer Claude Martin in 1845, the college is a unique mix of European and Indo-Islamic architectural elements, featuring elaborate corridors, winding staircases, and intricate designs that reflect a fascinating blend of cultures. The college also has its own stories of heroism: during the Revolt of 1857, students and staff defended La Martinière against British troops, an episode immortalized on the walls of its halls. Today, guided tours are available for visitors, and exploring the school feels like stepping back in time.
