Set up by the Order of the Sisteis of Mercy of the Holy Cross, this was built between 1894 and 1914 in the historicising neo-Gothic Style on the Site of demolished town houses. The dominant feature of the entire compleit was its chapel, whose position on the second floor of building No. 60 with frontage into Dlouhá Street was highlighted by a triangular neo-Gothic gable with steeple.
Karl Haberzettl was responsible for building the chapel. School dormitories were housed here between 1955 and 1967. The ohapel is used as a sports hall to this day. The part of one-time church complex is now used for an apartments.
