Zagorska Sela is a village and a municipality in the Krapina-Zagorje County, northern Croatia.
The most important prehistoric settlement in this area was Špičak above the church of St. Martin in Bojačno. The parish of St. Catherine in Selje was mentioned as early as 1334. Also important is the one-story Baroque castle Miljana which was built from 1597 to the 18th century. At the top of a hill, surrounded by a stone wall, is the parish church of Saint Anne in Poljana Sutlanska, a single-nave late Baroque church from 1810.[3]
The municipality of Sela has existed since 1886. It was located within the Klanjec district and Varaždin County. In 1952, the Municipality of Zagorska Sela was re-formed within the Klanjec district. From 1955, it was a part of the former Klanjec municipality, until 1993, when it was established as the Municipality of Zagorska Sela within the Krapina-Zagorje County.[3]
