The "Dom zu Gnies" was first mentioned in 1545. The church building was built in the late Gothic period on a hillside (at that time above the village) and was a branch church of Ilz until 1862 after the replacement of Pischelsdorf . The building consists of a one-bay choir with a 3/8 end to which a three-bay nave is attached in the same width. In 1697 there was a new vaulting with a so-called barbed barrel (the simplest vault shape) and stucco fields over flat wall pillars plus a sacristy on the south side. At the same time, a bell tower was built on the west side of the church. During the baroque renovation, parts of the late Gothic wall were left up to the height of the window.
The high altar from 1692 is a well-structured column structure. The altarpiece shows the patron saint, St. Oswald, in the midst of a herd of cattle. St. Oswald is called against cattle diseases. The assistant figures represent important martyrs; left St. Stephen and Laurentius on the right . A Pietà can be seen in the excerpt , flanked by angels with the instruments of suffering . The two statues to the side of the Pietà represent the martyrs Apollonia and Agatha . Around 1740 two chapels were added to the central yoke.
