La chiesetta di S.Antonio Abate si trova collocata su una roccia sporgente all'entrata del borgo di Biaza (Brenzone sul lago di Garda). E' una cappella antica in stile romanico risalente al XIII-XIV secolo. Agli inizi del XVI secolo si attesta la residenza della nobile famiglia dei Brenzoni "dalle stelle" che utilizzavano la cappella come loro dimora di sepoltura. All'interno un'unica navata conduce all'abside a pianta semicircolare che contiene un solo altare con pala settecentesca raffigurante S.Antonio Abate. L'intitolazione della chiesa a S.Antonio Abate si spiega con la sentita devozione popolare nei confronti del Santo come protettore degli animali domestici, il cui allevamento costituiva quota importante dell'economia del tempo. In tempi successivi il Santo verrà venerato come guaritore delle malattie nota come "Fuoco di S. Antonio".
