Kamienna Góra, County seat in Lower Silesian Voivodeship, Poland

Located between the Stone Mountains and Rudawy Janowickie, Kamienna Góra stands at an elevation of 468 meters in southwestern Poland.

The settlement received town rights in 1292, following the construction of a defensive castle by Polish Duke Henry the Bearded in the early 13th century.

The Old Town district contains Gothic churches, medieval town walls, and the Church of Saints Peter and Paul, reflecting centuries of architectural development.

The town functions as an independent urban municipality while serving as the administrative center for both Kamienna Góra County and rural district.

During the Thirty Years' War, the town's population decreased to only two residents in 1639 after foreign troops destroyed the settlement.
