A Prussian court in Cammin
From 1849 to 1879 Kamień, then Cammin in Pommern, had a county court (Kreisgericht). On 1 October 1879 it was replaced by the Royal Prussian district court, the Amtsgericht Cammin, one of 14 in the area of the Stettin regional court. Its jurisdiction covered Cammin county except for the parts assigned to the courts at Stepenitz and Wollin, plus the communities of West-Dievenow and Heidebrink and part of the Haff district from Usedom-Wollin county. In 1880 it had two judgeships, making it a medium-sized court within the regional court's area. Court sessions were also held in Gülzow (now Golczewo).
After 1945
In 1945 the court's district came under Polish administration and the German inhabitants were expelled – which ended the history of the Amtsgericht Cammin. A Polish court was established in Kamień Pomorski: from 1950 to 1975 the County Court (Sąd Powiatowy), later the District Court (Sąd Rejonowy). The court complex, dated to 1880, is listed in the heritage register under number A-142.
