Sjeničak Lasinjski is a village in central Croatia, in the municipality of Lasinja, Karlovac County.
History
Today's name Sjeničak originates from the medieval town of Steničnjak, built at the beginning of the 12th century. Name is derived from tit (sjenice in Croatian) and the municipality of Lasinja.
On 21 September 1897, residents of Sjeničak Lasinjski rose in rebellion (known as Sjeničak rebellion, Croatian: Sjeničarska buna) against (perceived) Hungarisation and loss of privileges previously granted to them as border guards.
A number of young men from the village, Dr. Gojko Nikoliš being one of them, went to Spain to fight as members of the International Brigade in 1936-1937.
Sjeničak Lasinjski suffered significant demographic losses in the World War II with 352 of its residents perishing. Out of those, 137 were civilian victims of fascism, 68 were fallen partisans and 111 succumbed to typhoid.[2]
Culture
The first Serbian Orthodox Parish in the village, which included the village of Prkos Lasinjski, was established in 1715. The first school was established in 1834.[3]

According to the 2011 census,[1] the village of Sjeničak Lasinjski has 161 inhabitants. This represents 23.78% of its pre-war population according to the 1991 census.
