history
Kamenice was probably created in the 13th century during the colonization of the primeval forest in the border area with Moravia. Based on the development with four-sided courtyards, the first settlers were probably German colonists. The old wooden church is said to have been built around 1350 by coal miners and miners. The oldest written record of Kamenitz came from the land table in 1392 , when Smil Flaška von Pardubitz handed over the rule of Richenburg with the associated 62 villages to Otto von Bergow and Boček II of Podebrady . The place was probably destroyed during the Hussite Wars in 1421 during the fighting for Polička . When Jan Pardus von Vratkov described the rule of Richenburg in 1456, he indicated Moravska Rybná , Kamenice and Schonau as completely desolate places. In 1584 the village consisted of 15 residents. In 1661 there were 35 residents in the 11 houses. At that time, the residents made a living from logging and charcoal burning. In 1690, mining began on iron ore near Ruda, which was operated until 1829. In 1772 a blast furnace was built north-west of Pustá Kamenice near the Mácha mill, around which the settlement of Pec arose.
After the abolition of patrimonial Pustá Kamenice formed a municipality in the political district of Hohenmauth from 1850 . The blast furnace operation was stopped. At its location, slag heaps are still visible and circular walls have been preserved in the ground. In 1897 the village received a railway connection after the completion of the local railway Zwittau – Polička – Skutsch . In 1949 the municipality was assigned to Okres Polička and in 1961 to Okres Svitavy .

Attractions
- The Church of St. Anna was built in 1680 instead of an old wooden church that has been documented since 1350, which had to be demolished in 1677 due to deterioration. The early baroque new building was built with the support of Franz Anton Berka von Dubá and redesigned in a baroque style in 1763 at the instigation of Philipp Count Kinský. In 1883 another renovation in the neo-Gothic style took place.
