After the Peace of Westphalia was concluded, Johann Wilhelm donated the statue of St. Liborius for the cathedral in Münster . It is located there in the Johanneschor, opposite the astronomical clock. Since then, the staff of the Liborius figure has been placed in the grave of every deceased diocesan bishop. His successor has a new staff made. It is an exact replica based on the historical model, made of linden wood, on which several layers of chalk are applied and finally gold leaf and oil paint are applied.
Around 1653 he had the Trinity Chapel in Paderborn Cathedral redesigned in the Baroque style.
