Koller's Oldtimer Museum
Koller's Oldtimer Museum impressively presents the entire history of the automobile. More than 130 years of mobile transportation are brought to life with the help of exquisite vintage and classic cars. Here you can follow the development of vehicles from the coach to the modern sports car. In addition to cars, historic bicycles, motorcycles and tractors can also be admired. In total, over 100 exquisite vehicles from 70 manufacturers are on display. On display are models from the beginning of car production in 1886 right up to modern times. The classic car museum can also be visited without a guided tour. Guided tours for groups of 20 people or more are also possible by prior arrangement.
Radetzky Memorial
The tour begins with a multimedia introduction to the time of Field Marshal Josef Graf Radetzky, with various exhibits from this period completing the historical picture. There are also several dioramas on display, in which famous battles - such as the one around Aspern against the Napoleonic army (1809) - are elaborately recreated with hundreds of pewter soldiers. You step through a gate from the exhibition into the open air - and immediately have an impressive view of the extensive memorial site and the mighty obelisk. Beneath this is the tomb of the generals Josef Graf Radetzky (†1858) and Maximilian Freiherr von Wimpffen (†1854) as well as the builder of the complex, Josef Gottfried Pargfrieder († 1863).

Stone Age village with circular ditch
The area around Heldenberg was already inhabited in the Neolithic Age. This is evidenced by finds that have made it possible to reconstruct the Neolithic village. In addition to the buildings from this period, everyday life with various prehistoric craft activities is presented.
Circular ditches are complexes consisting of one or more concentric, circular ditches with a diameter of 40 to 180 meters. The circular ditches, which were built around 5,000 years before the birth of Christ, were surrounded by palisade fences and astronomical aspects and findings were used in the construction of the mighty gates.
The Stone Age village and the circular ditches can be visited without a guided tour.
English Garden
The English Garden is ecologically maintained and is a show garden of the "Nature in the Garden" campaign. The garden skillfully combines the elements of earth, air, fire and water and can be visited without a guided tour. The English Garden is open all year round.
Café Heldenberg
The Heldenberg Café with a view of the English Garden offers fine refreshments. Gift items and souvenirs can be found in the adjoining store and there is a children's play corner for younger guests. The café is open all year round.
