The foundation stone for the building, originally intended as a residence for single brothers, was laid in July 1746. The lower rooms were ready for occupancy in December of the same year. Until a prayer and community hall was built on the opposite side of the square, the hall on the first floor was used for church services and meetings of the entire community.

The house was given a new purpose when the Moravian boarding schools were relocated to Niesky. In September 1751, the students of the Unity Boys' Institution temporarily moved into the rooms. From 1760, the Pedagogical Institute occupied the house as a secondary school.
The Moravian boarding schools were widely known for their comprehensive and humanistic education.
