After Prince Bishop Johann Philipp Franz von Schönborn was persuaded by Balthasar Neumann to set up the court church in the south-west corner wing of the residence, the planning entered a decisive phase. Neumann, who was entrusted with the project, had the problem of preserving the uniform external appearance of the residence and taking into account the division of the facade with its windows and floors. The windowless left side of the church room was provided with mirrors, which reflect the light like windows.
