Going's village church is one of the most beautiful rococo churches in Tyrol. It is consecrated to the Holy Cross and the martyr Laurentius . The builder was Andrä Hueber, the fresco artist Matthias Kirchner , both from Kitzbühel. The altars and figures of saints were designed by Thomas Blieml from Going. A remarkable Madonna, carved around 1480, stands in the altar niche on the left side altar.

At the Rehrobichl between Going and Oberndorf, copper and silver were mined in the first quarter of the 16th century. The miners were settled in the Prama district. Prama is Celtic and means: where the blackberries grow. This is probably an indication of Celtic settlement. The Celts lived in this area as early as 800 BC. Mined copper and silver .
