Tips from the Community
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.

Like all church halls of the Moravian Church, the rooms are kept in a simple, light tone. Decorations and colors have been dispensed with, as the view is that the people present give the room its special character. The benches and the simple green table at the front of the hall are freely movable. This means that the room can be used for a variety of events. The green table is called the "liturgical table" and is the place for the meeting leader. It is not a particularly holy place, but a work table: sometimes a reading table, sometimes a support for a preaching desk, sometimes a communion table, sometimes a baptismal table.

The watchtower in Niesky was once intended to be a signpost for people to their homeland. The small white signs on top of its viewing platform are evidence of this: Ullersdorf, Jänkendorf, Schneekoppe, Landeskrone or Biehain are written on them.
