history

In 1822 the former Goldstein was founded and was a Vorwerk , to which a brick factory belonged, which stood 500 meters southwest of the village. Until 1945 Goldstein was a village within the manor district or the rural community Prassen ( Polish Prosna ) in the Rastenburg district in the Prussian province of East Prussia .

As a result of the war, the place came to Poland in 1945 with all of southern East Prussia and was given the Polish form of the name "Kamień". Today it is a settlement (Polish Osada ) within the urban and rural municipality of Korsze (Korschen) in the powiat Kętrzyński ( Rastenburg district ), until 1998 the Olsztyn Voivodeship , since then the Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship .

Until 1945 Goldstein belonged to the Protestant Uniate parish of Leunenburg ( Polish: Sątoczno ) in the church province of East Prussia and to the Roman Catholic parish of Sturmhübel (Polish: Grzęda ) in the Diocese of Warmia .

Today Kamień belongs to the Roman Catholic parish of Sątoczno in the Archdiocese of Warmia and to the Evangelical-Augsburg parish of Kętrzyn (German Rastenburg ) in the diocese of Masuria .
