Winssen is a village in the Dutch province of Gelderland. It is the smallest village of the municipality of Beuningen, and lies about 8 km north of Wijchen. It lies south of the river Waal
Winssen was a separate municipality until 1818, when it was merged with Ewijk.
It was first mentioned in 1153 as Winisen. The etymology is unclear.[3] Huis te Winssen was a castle located near the village. In 1584, it fell in Spanish hands, and was destroyed by the citizens of Nijmegen. It was later rebuilt, but demolished around 1815.[4] In 1840, Winssen was home to 909 people.[5]
The Beatrixmolen is a grist mill from 1791 which was originally located in Alphen. In 1858, it was rebuilt and moved to Winssen. In 1988, it was restored.[6]
