The pompous Neo-Renaissance building with a large dome was designed by architects Tadeusz Stryż enski and Wł adysł aw Ekilski in 1893 to house a shelter for boys of the Catholic faith from all over Galicia. The shelter was maintained at the expense of Prince Alexander Lubomirsky. During the First World War, a hospital was set up here, and during the Second World War, units of the occupiers were located. In 1952 the building was transferred to the University of Economics and is now its main building. The entrance portal is decorated with columns, pilasters, sculptures. Above the entrance is the motto in Latin "Ora et labora" (pray and work).
