The territorial organization of the Catholic church in the area of Hrvatsko Zagorje can be traced right after the period of Christianization. First, the Sisak Diocese was founded and later the Zagreb Diocese. Parishes were classified into archdeaconries, and after a few centuries archdeaconries were divided into deaneries where ten parishes usually existed. Parishes have changed their boundaries, their seats and their titles over time. New parishes were founded by separating a parish and separating part of the area of one or more parishes. There were also reunifications of deaneries and unifications of archdeaconries. Finally, new dioceses were founded from parts of the Zagreb Diocese. Today, in the area of Hrvatsko Zagorje, the Zagreb Metropoly has 71 parishes, divided into 9 deaneries, included in 3 archdioceses belonging to 3 dioceses.
