Portengen, Rural hamlet in Stichtse Vecht, Netherlands.

Located near Kockengen, Portengen spans across 6.87 square kilometers of Dutch countryside with traditional waterways and agricultural fields.

Originally established as a peat excavation settlement in the 11th century, Portengen functioned as an independent municipality from 1818 until merging with Breukelen-Nijenrode in 1857.
