The parish church of St. Oswald was built in the 11th century in the Romanesque style. A late Gothic building was then mentioned as early as the 14th century. In the middle of the 18th century, from 1752 to 1755, the church was rebuilt in the Baroque style. The tower had a baroque dome which was destroyed by lightning in 1834 and replaced by the current pointed helmet.
The parish church of St. Francis Xavier was built from 1660 to 1665. After the abolition of the Jesuit Order in 1773, it was no longer used and in 1811 it was transformed into a parish church. Its interior has remained practically unchanged since the 17th century.
Göss Abbey is a former monastery of Benedictine founded in 1004 by Adula of Leoben, closed in 1782. The old collegiate church and St Michael's Chapel, which used to serve as a private chapel for the only Bishop of Leoben, Count Alexander Engel von Wagrein, can still be visited today.
Tregist Chapel dates back to the 1980s. On the site of the present chapel, there was originally a chapel from 1884, which was damaged by a flood around 1955 and then demolished. The exterior and interior of the new chapel were designed by the local sculptor and painter Franz Weiss between 1986 and 1992.
