Winterswijk, Municipality in eastern Gelderland, Netherlands.
The municipality spans across 138 square kilometers of land, incorporating the main town center and multiple surrounding rural districts at 37 meters elevation.
The settlement originated around 1000 AD as a farming community, with its name evolving from earlier forms Winethereswick and Wenterswic, meaning dwelling place.
The Jacobskerk church stands at the heart of Winterswijk, while the former synagogue now functions as a museum documenting local Jewish heritage.
