Kamnica (in Slovenian pronounced as /ˈkaːmnitsa/) is a settlement northeast of Ljubljana in the Municipality of Dol pri Ljubljani in the Upper Carniola region of Slovenia.[2] It includes the hamlet of Sveta Helena.[3]
In the past, Kamnica was known for black slate, which was mined here and used for slate roofing. It was also known for millstones.[3] Saint Helena's Church, first mentioned in 1495, and Žerjav Castle, dating from the 16th-century, stand in the hamlet of Sveta Helena.
