Gasteren is a village in the Dutch province of Drenthe. It is a part of the municipality of Aa en Hunze, and lies about 8 km east of Assen.
The village was first mentioned between 1298 and 1304 as "in villa Ghestre, apud Ghesteren". The etymology is unclear.[3]
The hunebed (dolmen) D11 [nl] is a small incomplete dolmen. It has been fenced off because, there are sheep in the heath. It used to have four capstones, but only two have remained.[4] There are also 44 burial mounds around the village.[5]
Gasteren was home to 155 people in 1840.[5]
