=== Architecture ===
Architecture is based on Baroque European architecture. Stone bricks, stone and stone slabs were the most common materials in buildings along with brick and cobblestone. A very typical element of Kaltsburg's Architecture was the division of floors being shown on the outside by a row of stone slabs placed next to each other, with half of them being on the top of the block they're placed in and the other on the bottom. Roofs are usually covered with terracotta (either Cyan or Light Blue).
