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 was 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 its tower remained.
Wintelre was home to 435 people in 1840.
