Kamenica (Hungarian: Tarkő, (earlier) Tarkeő, Kamenyica) is a village and municipality in Sabinov District in the Prešov Region of north-eastern Slovakia.
In 1556 imperial troops besieged under command of Simon Forgacs, captured and seven days later, on the order of Emperor Ferdinand I, turned the castle into the ruin that can be seen today.
The new King Ladislaus IV of Hungary, however, re-confirmed the holding in 1275 and reconfirmed in a charter signed in Eger in 1287.
The church of Kamenica was built around 1300 in the Gothic style by Count Rikolf Berzeviczi and the first noted priest is a man named Gottfrid in 1330.
During that same decade many villagers emigrated due to economic difficulties, many to the United States.
