About
Kamyenyets is a town on the Lyasnaya River in western Belarus. It is known for its medieval brick tower, a rare surviving defensive monument of its kind in the region.
Notes
Belarusian source spellings Каменец and Камянец coexist. English main follows conventional Kamyenyets; French reference heading Kamieniets differs from the French Wikidata label Kamianets. The tower is a landmark, not a separate synonym for the town. The national 2007/UN 2012 romanization is dated; Belarus changed its domestic rules in 2023.
