history
The name Montsoult comes either from the Latin word Monticelis , a modification of Montis Cellariensis ( monk's cellar ), or goes back to the proper name of the knight Monte-Ceodi , who was given the title Seigneur de Moncehot around 1275 .
Mentioned for the first time in 862 in a deed of the West Franconian King Charles the Bald , the Seigneurie Montsoult was divided between a subsidiary branch of the Montmorency family and the La Queue family around 1275 . In 1744 the two fiefs were reunited under Geoffroy Macé Camus de Pontcarré , Baron von Maffliers .

Population development
In the first half of the 19th century, the population was almost constant at around 400 with a decreasing trend. It was only with the connection to the railway network in 1875 that Montsoult experienced a long, albeit modest, population increase and began to expand in the direction of the Montsoult - Maffliers station , which is located on the plain. A new subdivision of the municipality in 1926 then led to a very marked increase in population.

The Saint-Sulpice church was built in the 16th century on the site of a larger 13th century church. It was probably the English who pillaged the original building in the Hundred Years War . The coat of arms of the constable Anne de Montmorency can be found in several places in the church. An apse is missing, the choir closes directly with the vertical facade wall ( chevet plat ). The chevet plat and the square tower on the aisle with the paired notch-like openings are more recent. A wrought-iron cross on a Renaissance plinth rises above the square in front of the church. The building, which has been a listed building since 1926, was thoroughly renovated between 1967 and 1976.
