Majsec's Mill
Restored early 20th-century watermill in Zagorje
Majsec’s Mill in Donja Stubica offers visitors a charming glimpse into the rural traditions and natural beauty of Croatia’s Zagorje region. Nestled at the foot of Medvednica Nature Park, this restored early 20th-century watermill—originally known as the Tomašković mill—has been carefully renovated by the Majsec family. The mill remains fully operational, using traditional methods to grind grains from local cereal varieties, and visitors can purchase “Majsecov žaklec,” a unique flour product, as a memorable souvenir.
The setting around Majsec’s Mill is picturesque, with a wooden structure beside a gentle stream, surrounded by landscaped grounds that invite relaxation and exploration. The site is a popular destination for walkers and hikers, with several scenic routes of varying difficulty leading through the rolling hills and forests of the area. The mill’s location makes it an excellent starting or ending point for a day spent outdoors.
Beyond its function as a working mill, Majsec’s Mill serves as a cultural and historical attraction, reflecting the milling heritage that has shaped the region’s rural life. Visitors can enjoy local cuisine, learn about traditional milling techniques, and experience the slower pace of countryside living. Whether you’re interested in history, hiking, or simply enjoying the tranquil landscape, Majsec’s Mill provides a welcoming and authentic Zagorje experience.
