The hill of Montagny, a strategic point that controlled part of the Broye valley, has been inhabited since ancient times. But due to the lack of systematic excavations, it is impossible to obtain precise information about this period. Several archaeological discoveries confirm that the region has been inhabited since the Mesolithic period.

The first evidence dates from the beginning of the 12th century, when Ulrich, Lord of Belp and Montagny, is mentioned under the patronage of Zaehringen. The origin of the lordship of Montagny certainly dates back to 1146. Ulrich's two sons, Conrad of Montagny and Rudolph of Belp, lived in a primitive castle in Montagny. At the time, it was a square tower to which a wooden structure was attached, surrounded by a palisade or rampart.
