Winschoterzijl is a former hamlet in the municipality of Oldambt in the northeast of the Netherlands. It was also a sconce, and is still a lock. The village was settled by Lutheran refugees from East Frisia during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648). In 1992, Winschoterzijl was demolished during the widening of the Pekel A.
