The huge 16-meter stone-relic "Devil Stone", which gave the village its name, is located on the top of a hill on the southeastern outskirts of Pidkamin.
The uniqueness and grandeur of this natural monument have attracted people to it since ancient times. One of the legends says that devils brought a piece of rock from the Carpathians, intending to drop it on the Pochaiv Lavra, but God threw the stone aside. According to the scientific version, this is a fragment of an ancient coral reef.
6 grave pits were hollowed out on top of the stone. In pre-Christian times, there was a pagan temple here. During the times of the Galicia-Volyn principality, a defensive church was built on top, from which traces in the form of grooves and ditches remained on the surface.

Величезний 16-метровий камінь-останець "Чортів камінь", що дав назву селищу, знаходиться на вершині пагорба на південно-східній околиці Підкамня.
Унікальність і велич цієї пам'ятки природи з давніх-давен приваблювали до неї людей. Одна з легенд свідчить, що шмат скелі з Карпат принесли чорти, маючи намір скинути його на Почаївську лавру, проте Бог відкинув камінь убік. Згідно з науковою версією, це фрагмент древнього коралового рифу.
На вершині каменю видовбано 6 ям-могил. У дохристиянські часи тут було язичницьке капище. За часів Галицько-Волинського князівства зверху було збудовано оборонну церкву, від якої на поверхні залишилися сліди у вигляді пазів та канав.
Поруч знаходяться кам'яні хрести XVII сторіччя.
