The ascent of the Habsburgs to the Bohemian throne in 1526 marked a great change for the Czech Lands and for the city of Prague itself. The Renaissance brought by the Habsburgs meant not only the emergence of a new architectural style but also a new concept of life with a broad impact on everyday existence. These changes were conditioned to a significant extent by an influx of new residents from the newly established Habsburg Empire. Regarded as proficient and skilled builders, Italians made a major contribution to the building activities throughout the city. The transformation process of medieval Gothic Prague into an Early Modern agglomeration was completed in the mid-17th century.
