Gassel is a village in the Dutch province of North Brabant. It is located in the former municipality of Grave. Since 2022 it has been part of the new municipality of Land van Cuijk.

History

Gassel was mentioned first in 1485 as Gassel, and means "guesthouse". Gassel probably dates from the Early Middle Ages and developed on a sandy hill.

The St John, the Baptist Church was built in 1875 in Gothic Revival style. It was modified in 1888. The castle Tongelaar is located south of Gassel and was first mentioned in 1292 as belonging to the Lords of Cuijk. The south-western tower dates from the 15th century. Around 1771, the other buildings were constructed.{{cite book|url=https://dbnl.org/tekst/sten009monu02_01/sten009monu02_01_0060.php |title=Gassel |author=Chris Kolman & Ronald Stenvert| year=1997 |publisher=Waanders |location=Zwolle |isbn=90-400-9945-6 |access-date=17 April 2022 |language=nl}}

Gassel was home to 200 people in 1840. Gassel was a separate municipality since the year 1811 until 1942, when it was merged with Beers.{{Repertorium Nederlandse Gemeenten}}

In 1994, the municipality of Beers was divided between Cuijk and Grave, and Gassel became incorporated into Grave. In 2022, it was merged into Land van Cuijk.{{cite web|url=https://www.plaatsengids.nl/gassel |title=Gassel |website=Plaatsengids |access-date=17 April 2022 |language=nl}}
