While walking around the Monastery grounds, the visitor will discover two very picturesque summer houses, which also were built during the Baroque period of the Monastery.

The charming Cottage in the Prelate's Garden, which was built in 1722 as a small timber-framed pavilion, formerly was located across from the abbot's apartment in the South Wing of the Lay Brothers' Building. It has maintained its character as a place of refuge and retreat until today, thanks to its set-back position embedded between the monastery wall and the fruit tree orchard.

The picturesque Orangery, which is located south of the Monastery Church and is entirely surrounded by meadows and lawns, was built in 1756 and was used to store frost-sensitive plants over the winter. The monks used to experiment with raising such plants during their gardening activities at the Monastery.
The totally glassed-in "Cold Room" on its southern side is the brightest room in the entire Abbey, and in the summer, despite its name, most certainly the warmest room.

From there, you have an excellent view of a large section of the fully preserved medieval monastery wall and of the Rhine Valley in the background.
