This Academy of three-year study was established in 1872 - some decades later than in other developed European countries. It was supposed to prepare students from Slavonic countries who had graduated from lower secondary schools and secondary grammar schools (Gymnasium) for business and industrial professions. In 1898 over 500 students attended this institution. The tuition fees then amounted to 120 guldens for those other than the 24 scholarship students. The Neo-Renaissance building of the Academy was constructed in 1892 according to designs by J. Drdínko. In 1915 it was reconstructed - after the removal of the original, richly decorated tympanum it received one more storey and a new facade.
