The Old Church of the Holy Cross in Eickeloh was donated in 1296 by the noble von Hodenberg family after several fatal accidents occurred while crossing the Aller River to attend church. It served as a village church until 1868 and was then converted into the burial place of the von Hodenberg family after a new building was constructed. The Gothic brick building features a groin vault in the chancel, a wood-beamed ceiling in the nave, and a largely original oak roof truss dating from 1351.
