Gornji Hrašćan (Hungarian: Drávacsány) is a village in Međimurje County in northern Croatia. It is located six kilometres west from the county seat Čakovec, approximately halfway between the city and the Croatian-Slovenian border-crossing point in Trnovec. The village is part of the municipality of Nedelišće and its population in the 2011 census was 910.[3]
The name Hrašćan is derived from hrast, the Croatian word for oak, while gornji means upper and is included in the name to distinguish the village from Donji Hrašćan, a smaller village also located in Međimurje.
In 2008, a memorial-cross was raised to honour those killed by the Yugoslav Partisans in 1945.[4] In 2009, the remains of some of the victims were discovered by chance during a commercial excavation in the area.[5] The remains of between 30 and 40 people were exhumed and have been temporarily reburied in Čakovec.[6]
