Mihovljan is a village and municipality in the Krapina-Zagorje County, northern Croatia.
The parish of Mihovljan was first mentioned in the 13th century as the parish church of St. Michael the Archangel. It was destroyed in World War II, and a new church was built on the same site in 1972.[3]
The oldest surnames from Mihovljan are found in church books, the oldest of which is the "Protocoli baptistatorum" (Baptism Register), which began to be kept in the parish of Mihovljan in 1733. These books provide reliable information about surnames in the parish over the last three centuries.[4]
