Kamieniec Wrocławski (pronounced as /pl/) is a village in the administrative district of Gmina Czernica, within Wrocław County, Lower Silesian Voivodeship, in south-western Poland.[1]

It lies approximately 6km (04miles) north-west of Czernica, and 12km (07miles) south-east of the regional capital Wrocław.

History

In the early 14th-century Liber fundationis episcopatus Vratislaviensis the village was mentioned under the Latinized form of its Old Polish name - Kamena. It was then part of Piast-ruled Poland.

During World War II, the Germans operated a forced labour subcamp of a Nazi prison in Wrocław in the village.[2] Following Germany's defeat in the war, in 1945, the village became again part of Poland.
