Although it is sometimes claimed abroad that it is originally a Dutch breed, this has not been proven and is therefore uncertain. This is because the registration was not yet conclusive at the time. Studbooks, ear tags, identification and registration did not yet exist. It is plausible that the Lakenvelder is a Dutch breed. The Lakenvelder is a centuries-old breed. Lakenvelders are already mentioned in the Netherlands in the form of a description in the 12th century. The earliest known image is a painting from around 1450.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, 'park cattle', as Lakenvelders are also called, were mainly kept on the country estates of landed gentry and patriciate. With the disappearance of these estates in the 20th century, the Lakenvelder was threatened with extinction, and not for the first time. At its lowest point, there were still around 300 Lakenvelder cattle in the whole of the Netherlands, a number that makes inbreeding and a high degree of relatedness within the population inevitable as long as strict selection is carried out and no fresh blood is allowed.
