During the 1914-18 War Cassel was at different periods the headquarters of both Marshal Foch and Lord Plumer. At the end of May 1940 the western flank of the British Expeditionary Force was on the line Dunkirk-Cassel-Hazebrouck, and Cassel was in the section defended by the 48th and 44th Division on May 28th-29th. There are now nearly 100, 1939-45 war casualties commemorated in this site. Of these, almost 20 are unidentified and one of the soldiers from the United Kingdom whose grave could not be precisely located is commemorated by a special memorial inscribed "Buried near this spot".

The Chapel of Our Lady of Lourdes was built in the late 19th century from white-painted brick. The roof is slate. On Palm Sunday and on August 15th for the Feast of the Assumption, a procession passed through the village. It was led by the municipal band and followed by the clergy and faithful of Our Lady of Lourdes. They stopped there for the blessing of the palms and the presentation of the statue of the Virgin Mary. This practice ended in the 1980s.

It was from Steenvoorde that the Beeldenstorm spread rapidly throughout the Netherlands. In the church, you can still see a bell from the Laurentius Monastery. The Beeldenstorm began here with the shattering of all the statues and furnishings of this monastery. No trace remains of the monastery itself, located a few kilometers from Steenvoorde. Only a place name, Gallicized to Saint-Laurent, now a rest stop along the Lille-Dunkirk motorway, remains as a reminder. The church itself has a turbulent history. After falling victim to the Beeldenstorm in 1566, it burned down in 1576, was destroyed by the French in 1644, and was rebuilt in late Gothic style between 1660 and 1664. The tower dates from 1712, and the brick spire was built in 1890 and 1891. In May 1940, the church was again severely damaged. In 1950 it was restored.

The Remparts of Cassel are a historic defensive wall built around the French town of Cassel. These walls have a rich history dating back to the 9th century when they were fortified to protect the town from invasions, particularly by the Normans. The walk along the Remparts is a popular activity for tourists and residents of Cassel. The walls are made of arches and stones, and offer beautiful views of the village and its surroundings.
