Klow is shown to have a large variety of cultural architectural styles. Mostly typical Yugoslavian, but there are also many buildings hinting of Austrian and Turkish design, for example the old mosques. However, the Kropow castle's architecture and decoration is of Bohemian descent, but this could be because of the fame of Czech architecture. As a large and relateively well-off capital city, Klow has a large museum of natural science with mounted dinosaur skeletons. Klow is told to be the Capital of Mineral Water, and they are famous for their Klowaswa (Cyrillic: Кловасва), their national mineral water, literally meaning "Klow Water" or "Water from Klow." In contrast to ordinary Syldavians, who use the Cyrillic alphabet, the Royal Court in Klow uses the Latin alphabet.
