Kamieniec is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Kłodzko, within Kłodzko County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]
It lies approximately 8km (05miles) west of Kłodzko, and 82km (51miles) south-west of the regional capital Wrocław.
The village was mentioned under its Latinized Old Polish name Camenicza in a document of 1286, when it part of the Duchy of Wrocław within fragmented Piast-ruled Poland.[2] The name is of Polish origin and is derived from the word kamień, which means "stone".[2]
