Kamiennik is a village in Poland located in the Nysa district, in the Kamiennik municipality. It lies in the valley of the Krynka river, on the edge of the Niemcza-Strzelin Hills. Kamiennik is an old knightly village where the layout of an oval village (owalnica) has been preserved. The first mentions of the village come from sources from the end of the 13th century, where it appears as Camik (Kamik). Until the secularization of church property in the 18th century, the village was the property of the Bishop of Wrocław. The local population was mainly engaged in agriculture, primarily cattle and sheep breeding. Basic crafts were also practiced in the village, wool and linen were woven. In the 19th century, a large vitriol (oil of vitriol) factory was launched in the village. In the years 1950-1989, an agricultural production cooperative operated in Kamiennik. The village's monuments include the Baroque Church of St. Andrew from the late 18th century with a church tower dating from an older temple, as well as farmsteads from the mid-19th century and urban-type tenement houses with features of provincial Baroque and Classicism.
