The village was first mentioned in the 13th century as Winterlo. The etymology is unclear.
In 1320, a Mary chapel was built in Wintelre. In 1570, it was replaced by a church, but was turned over to the Dutch Reformed church in 1648, and started to decay due to the small size of the protestant congregation. In 1822, a new Catholic church is built. A tower was added between 1857 and 1859. Between 1930 and 1931, a new church was built next to the old one. The old church was later demolished, but the tower remained.
Wintelre was home to 435 people in 1840.
