The particularity of the school is its building, built in 1902 by the architect Johann Karl Ott according to a particular Germanic style of the 15th and 16th centuries, known as “historicist”.

There is a beautiful and well-kept view of the water along the way. The motif casts a spell over you.

"Before the construction of the school, the grounds on which it was built served many purposes, mainly as a place for military barracks used by the French when they arrived in Strasbourg in 1681. Most famously, it housed the pontonnier regiment of general Eblé in 1789 during the revolution.

Founded in 1815 in Strasbourg, the Ecole supérieure de jeunes filles (Graduate school for young women) was a small building in the Andlau sector. Its goal was to give young girls and women a modern education, including a good knowledge of German and French.

After the fall of the First French Empire, the grounds were deserted and stayed that way for a long time. In 1871 when the Germans decided to make Strasbourg the capital of the Alsace–Lorraine region, they wished to instill a new educational system, in which they believed young francophone girls should be taught by nuns. Around that same time, the Ecole supérieure de jeunes filles became much too small for its students, making finding a new building a necessity.

Settling on the deserted barrack grounds for its low price and good location, construction of the school in its present form started, and was completed just in time for the beginning of term in 1902. It was called Höhere Mädchenschule until 1918 when it became Lycée de jeunes filles. It only became the Lycée international des Pontonniers (Pontonniers international high school) in 1975, having opened their doors to male students in 1973 with the temporary name Lycée classique et moderne d’Etat Mixte."
