Radmer an der Stube (also called Vorderradmer) is the main town of the valley. Here you will find an impressive sight: the baroque pilgrimage church "Zum heiligen Antonius von Padua", built in 1602 by Emperor Ferdinand II, which is one of the most beautiful in the country. With the beginning of copper mining in the mid-16th century, at the time of the Reformation, there was also a settlement in the area of the Radmer Valley. In the course of the Counter-Reformation, the baroque church, endowed by Archduke Ferdinand II of Austria, was then built between 1600 and 1602. The two bell towers were raised in 1692 and received their current double onion domes in 1757. On October 15, 1951, the building was severely damaged by a fire, but was restored by 1953. Inside the church, the first glance inevitably falls on the ceiling, magnificently decorated with stucco, and the wonderful frescoes by an unfortunately unknown artist. The rest of the baroque interior is also splendid, very artfully crafted and completing the picture of a high baroque church interior.
