Miholjanec, Rural settlement in Koprivnica-Križevci County, Croatia.
Miholjanec is a rural settlement in Koprivnica-Križevci County in northern Croatia, where the landscape is shaped by farms and fields. Smaller houses dot the area, connected by quiet country roads that link it to nearby villages.
The settlement has roots in the Iron Age, though its form was shaped when the parish church of Saint Michael was built in 1334. This church establishment became a central point in how the community organized itself.
The settlement preserves folk song traditions rooted in the Podravina region, reflecting how local people marked celebrations and daily rhythms. These melodies connect residents to their agricultural heritage and family memories.
The settlement is accessible by local roads from nearby towns, with basic services available within the Municipality of Virje. Spring and summer offer the best conditions to experience village life and the working farmland.
Following a major flood of the Drava River in 1736, residents began cultivating vineyards on a large scale, a practice that still shapes the local landscape. This wine-growing tradition developed as a way to reclaim and use the land differently after the disaster.
