Montagny Hillock, a strategic point controlling part of the Broye Valley, has been inhabited since ancient times. But due to the lack of systematic excavations, it is impossible to get precise information about this age. Several archaeological discoveries confirm that the region has been inhabited since the Mesolithic.

The first evidence dates from the beginning of the 12th century, where Ulrich, lord of Belp and Montagny is mentioned under the patronage of Zaehringen. The origin of the rule 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 that time it was a square tower to which a wooden structure was attached, surrounded by a palisade or rampart.
