'''Zrin'''  is a village in [Croatia](/source/Croatia), [Sisak-Moslavina County](/source/Sisak-Moslavina_County) ([Dvor Municipality](/source/Dvor%2C_Croatia)).

In the past it was the seat of the [Šubić noble family](/source/%C5%A0ubi%C4%87). Later the family called themselves [Zrinski](/source/Zrinski), after Zrin Castle. It was a stronghold of Croatian defense in the [Ottoman wars](/source/Ottoman_wars). There are still ruins of [Zrin Castle](/source/Zrin_Castle) in the village.

The [Partisans](/source/Yugoslav_partisans) attacked the Croatian village during [World War II](/source/World_War_II), based on the propagated lie that there was a sizable [Ustaše](/source/Usta%C5%A1e) presence in the village to justify their attack. From the 9–10 September 1943, Partisan forces killed 291 civilians, burned the village down, together with the old Roman Catholic church of the Holy Cross and the Church of Mary Magdalene, forcing the remaining population to flee. After the liberation of [Yugoslavia](/source/Yugoslavia), the communist regime forcefully relocated the remaining Croatian population to confiscated houses in [Slavonia](/source/Slavonia) after it had exiled the [Volksdeutsche](/source/Volksdeutsche) [Danube Swabians](/source/Danube_Swabians).

In the [Croatian War of Independence](/source/Croatian_War_of_Independence), Zrin was held by the Serb forces and was part of the unrecognized self-proclaimed [Republic of Serbian Krajina](/source/Republic_of_Serbian_Krajina). In [Operation Storm](/source/Operation_Storm) (1995), Zrin was liberated by the Croatian Army. It is currently inhabited by 9 residents.
