Okrasin ( German Kettenberg ) is a place in the Polish Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship , which belongs to the urban and rural municipality Gołdap (Goldap) in the Gołdap district.

Okrasin is located in the northeast of the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, 14 kilometers southwest of the district town of Gołdap (Goldap) . The Polish Voivodship Road 650 , which connects the two district towns of Gołdap and Węgorzewo (Angerburg), runs through the village . South of the village runs the route of the former railway line Angerburg – Goldap , whose nearest railway station was Bodschwingken until 1945 (1938 to 1945: Herandstal, Polish: Boćwinka) and is no longer in operation today.

The former Kettenberg was founded in 1826 and consisted of a larger estate. Until 1945 the place was a village in the rural community Bodschwingken (from 1938: Herandstal) in the Goldap district in the Gumbinnen administrative district of the Prussian province of East Prussia .

As a result of the war, Kettenberg came to Poland in 1945 along with all of southern East Prussia and received the Polish form of the name "Okrasin". Today the place forms a small village in the network of the urban and rural community Gołdap in the powiat Gołdapski within the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

In terms of church, Kettenberg was oriented towards the Protestant church in Grabowen (1938 to 1945: Arnswald , Polish: Grabowo) and the Catholic parish church in Goldap.

Today the former Protestant church in Grabowo is a Catholic parish church, and the Protestant church members belong to Gołdap.
