Zaścianek (, literally: "[place] beyond the wall") was historically a village or a part of a village where petty nobility (drobna szlachta) lived, who did not own peasants and cultivated their land by the hands of their own family. The derived adjective zaściankowy may mean "unsophisticated", "narrow-minded", or "out-of-the-way" and the word itself may be used in the meaning "backwater place".
