Breukelen's history dates back to the 7th century, when it was a village named Attingahem. Around the year 720, the first wooden church was built in the village by Saint Boniface. In the 8th century, a Frisian nobleman named Atte established a settlement there, constructing a fortified farm named the Breukelerhof.[1]

During the 17th century, many wealthy Amsterdam merchant families built their mansions along the river Vecht. In the Disaster Year (1672) the village and no less than 8 castles and mansions near Breukelen were severely damaged by warfare. Most of them were burned down by the French.[2]

On 1 January 2011, Breukelen merged with Loenen and Maarssen to form Stichtse Vecht.
