Glinska Poljana is a village in Croatia.

Religion

Serbian Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord

Serbian Orthodox Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord in Glinska Poljana was constructed in 1802. [3] During the World War II Genocide of Serbs in the Independent State of Croatia the church was converted to a Roman Catholic one and was a site of forced religious conversion. [3] Church's valuable iconostasis was dismantled and transferred to the Catholic Parish Seat in Petrinja. [3] It was returned to the church after the end of war and the building reconstruction was completed in 1991, just before the beginning of the Croatian War of Independence. [3] On 9 October 1991, Croatian Army mined and destroyed the church which was at the front line between the government forces and self-declared Republic of Serbian Krajina. [3] The church was not reconstructed after the end of war and the site was potentially minefield. [3]
