It's About Time!

Another six months passed since Berengar revealed his secret to Yasmin, and during this time he had spent nearly every waking hour ensuring that he modernized his Empire to the same extent that Austria had become. It was his goal to create an Empire that in many ways mimicked the German Empire of his past life. Because of this, he had introduced many new architectural styles to accomplish this aesthetic. 

Berengar had desired to see grand feats of architecture spread across his cities, and he used four styles to achieve this. The Gothic style, the German Renaissance style, the Baroque style, and the Historicism style. He deliberately left out the Classicism style that gained prominence in the 18th century of his past life because he felt it was too Greco-Roman and not German enough.
