Socha z pískovce je príkladem dobové zbožnosti a také úrovne barokního socharství v regionu. Svetec je zobrazen v odevu rímského vojáka, pravou rukou se opírá o mec, levou drží sponu plášte. Socha je dnes ponekud bizarne zaclenena do plotu novodobých predzahrádek, její sokl tvorí jeden ze sloupku plotu.

Saint Donatus of Muenstereifel is a catacomb saint whose relics are found in the Jesuit church in Bad Muenstereifel. He is widely venerated in the Rhine valley region of Germany and the Low Countries, and he is a patron saint of Buda and of protection against lightning. His relics were translated to Muenster Eifel in the 17th century from the Catacombs of Rome, where he had been originally buried.
