Majske Poljane, Rural settlement in Glina, Croatia
Majske Poljane is a rural village in Sisak-Moslavina County, Croatia, set in flat inland countryside surrounded by fields and forests. The settlement is made up of scattered farmsteads and houses spread across open land, following the pattern common to villages in continental Croatia.
The village grew as a typical continental settlement and was deeply affected by regional conflicts in the second half of the 20th century. Those events reshaped the population and left lasting marks on the community.
The Orthodox parish church in the village has a wooden bell tower and a semicircular apse. Inside, the vaults are painted with plant and figure motifs that are easy to notice during a visit.
The village is best reached by car, as no public transport serves the area. Since local services and facilities are limited, it is worth checking what is available nearby before setting out.
An earthquake in the early 2020s caused severe damage across the settlement and led many residents to leave. Since then, rebuilding has become the central concern for the future of the village.
