He developed a distinctive architectural style integrating Austrian, Bohemian, Italian, and French influences.
His most notable works include the Würzburg Residence, described by UNESCO as one of the most important palaces of the High Baroque period, and the Basilica of the Fourteen Holy Helpers (Vierzehnheiligen), widely regarded as a masterpiece of German Baroque architecture.
