Zrin is a village in Croatia, Sisak-Moslavina county. In the past it was the seat of Croatian noble family Šubić. Later they called themselves Zrinski, after Zrin. It was a strong point of Croatian defence in the Ottoman wars. There are still ruins of castles and fortresses in the village. At the end of World War II village was burned to the ground from Bosnian Serbs and all the Croats were forced to leave the place without the possibility of return. In Croatian War of Independence place was occupied and was part of so-called Republic of Serbian Krajina. In Operation Storm place was liberated and today is inhabited by 12 residents.
