It was built towards the end of the 16th century in a place called "Pit" by the former inhabitants of Lubań. Previously, there was St George's Chapel (the remains of which can still be seen in the basement of the building) and an old school. The modern façade dates back to 1914. Above the entrance door there is a stone doorframe with a carved date of 1752, marking the completion of one of the renovations. There is also a plaque commemorating the founders: Adrian Albinus and his wife Anna Wigand.
The early modern Latin school in the building played an important role in the history of Luban. Without it, the town's cultural heritage would have been much poorer. It educated its graduates to a high level allowing them to become outstanding theologians. Interestingly, at least two authors of well-known Protestant hymns from the 17th century left the walls of the school.
At present, the building houses municipal institutions (the Municipal Welfare Centre and the Municipal Police).
