Podle vzoru versailleských zahrad byly osídleny množstvím soch, antickými božstvy a hrdiny. V letech 1804-1823 byla zahrada přizpůsobena anglickému parku, ale parter se sochami zůstal zachován, navíc byly osazovány až do konce 19. století další sochy. Součástí parku je i kruhový chrámek. Některé sochy z původní výzdoby byly za II. světové války zničeny.
Pískovcové sousoší. Na skalisku dvě ležící postavy říčního boha s nádobou na vodu, drží se za ruce a každý drží štít s erbem, nad nimi imperátor na koni, na hlavě vavřínový věnec. and Autor se mohl inspirovat Berniniho dvěmi jezdeckými sochami.

Stucco relief sculpture directly below Guntherus represents woman with a column, the allegory of Strength., Bushart 1986#, 245-246 (Bärbel Hamacher a Ralph Paschke)., and In the ceiling fresco of the main hall of the monastery's prelature featuring the miracle of the Blessed Guntherus, Perseus' myth is included.

In this fresco monochromatic medallion we see on the left Pegasus with outstretched wings standing on hind legs, above him on the mountain's peak there is a round temple of Apollo. In the middle there are palm trees. On the right there is a group of seven Muses, in the middle Clio (History) is sitting with her right hand raised, her left elbow reposed on a pile of books. At the bottom Melpomene (Tragedy) is reclining, she turns her bare back to the viewer, her head is turned and she seems to be contemplating the tragic mask which she holds in her left hand. At the top we see Urania (Astronomy) inspecting heaven with a telescope. It is to be noted that Asam took care to choose a representative set of Muses to fit the theme of his fresco. Since it represents a historical event with a serious message, Clio and Melpomene dominate in the group of Muses, Urania is distinguished as a muse of Christian poets and personification of spirituality., Bushart 1986#, 245-246 (Bärbel Hamacher a Ralph Paschke)., and In the ceiling fresco of the main hall of the monastery's prelature featuring the miracle of the Blessed Guntherus, Perseus' myth is included.

In this fresco monochromatic medallion Andromeda is represented, half lying on the seashore, with legs and hands outstretched and chained to the rock. She is naked but for a drapery covering her lap and turns her head backward, towards Perseus fighting the dragon. The dragon swims towards Andromeda and opens its mouth wide full of teeth to devour her. It is evidently unaware of Perseus on Pegasus' back immediately above him. The hero in full armory (breastplate, helmet, round shield in his left hand) has stopped the horse and is raising his right hand with a sword to kill the dragon, his cloak flying above him to suggest the swiftness of his action., Bushart 1986#, 245-246 (Bärbel Hamacher a Ralph Paschke)., and In the ceiling fresco of the main hall of the monastery's prelature featuring the miracle of the Blessed Guntherus, Perseus' myth is included.

Andromeda has picked up her clothes, pressing them to her breasts and walks towards her father Cepheus represented on the left of the picture, and distinguished by a crown, beard and hands raised in greeting. Andromeda does not look, however, towards her father but turns her head back and gazes at Perseus to whom Amor points with his right hand. Amor is floating or standing right behind Andromeda, he is characterized by a bow, but he is not using it, he just holds it in his outstretched left hand., Bushart 1986#, 245-246 (Bärbel Hamacher a Ralph Paschke)., and In the ceiling fresco of the main hall of the monastery's prelature featuring the miracle of the Blessed Guntherus, Perseus' myth is included.
