Kamyenyets[a] or Kamenets,[n 1] also known as Kamyanyets (Belarusian: Камянец), or קאַמעניץ in Yiddish, is a town in Brest Region, Belarus.

[1] It was first mentioned in the Galician–Volhynian Chronicle in 1276, when a castle with a keep, the tower of Kamyenyets, was being constructed on this spot, to protect the northern boundary of Volhynia from the raids of invaders.

This site on the stony steep bank of the Liasnaja (Lysna or Leśna) River had attracted Oleksa, the prominent builder and architect of Volhynia.

He showed the site to Vladimir Vasilkovich, the Prince of Volhynia, who appreciated the place and ordered Oleksa to build a castle with a keep on the spot.

From 23 June 1941 until 22 July 1944, Kamyenyets was occupied by Nazi Germany and administered as a part of Bezirk Bialystok.

After World War II, the town developed as a minor center of the food processing industry (cheese and butter making, baking of bread, etc.).
