The responsible community association is the Communauté de communes du Périgord Nontronnais . The inhabitants are called Scellois or Scelloises .
etymology
Saint-Angel or Sent Angeu is derived from the Holy Angelus . The archangel Michael may also be referred to. The name Sceau is a French contraction of the Occitan verse (after, towards) Ceus , whereby Ceus may have emerged from the Latin cellis (monastery cells).

The vast majority of the municipality of Sceau-Saint-Angel is taken up by extensive forests.
Transport links
The D 675 runs through the western part of the municipality of Sceau-Saint-Angel in a southerly direction from Nontron to Brantôme . The D 3 also crosses from Nontron to Villars in a south-east direction; a municipal road branches off from it, which leads through the center of Sceau and then continues to Saint-Front-la-Rivière. The town center is also crossed by a municipal road coming up from Saint-Pardoux, which then connects to the D 675. From the latter communal road there is a junction at Garreloup to Saint-Angel and on to Quinsac.
The now closed Quéroy-Pranzac-Thiviers railway once ran through the northern part of the municipality .
Hydrography
The Nizonne, which flows off to the west, has its source near the hamlet of Morelière . The source of the Boulou , which drains to the southwest , is in the immediate vicinity of Saint-Angel . A small stream that rises north of Sarelière drains the northeast of the municipality towards Dronne (to the east-southeast). The watershed between Nizonne and Boulou on the one hand and Dronne on the other runs roughly through the middle of the municipality. The north-western border forms the watershed between Bandiat and Dronne.
geology
The community of Sceau-Saint-Angel is located entirely on flat sediments of the northeastern Aquitaine Basin , which are largely concealed by the continental Tertiary and can only be seen along rivers and their slopes.
The North East of the municipality is from Lia ( Pliensbachian below Puymezier - gray-blue Dolomite the formation l5-9 ) of limestones (bioclastic limes, crypto-crystalline limestones and Oolithkalke ) of Doggers ( Bajocium the formation J1B-2a and Bathonian the formation J2B throughout the northeast section ) and from the lowest Malm ( Oxfordium at Le Petit Mazerat , formations j2-6 (a) and j2-6 (b) ). The Dogger can also be recrystallized in places, such as around Jayat .
Immediately below Sceau, Cenomanium (formation c1-2 ) transgresses over the Jurassic succession. The upper runs of the Nizonne and Boulous be of flat-lying, Upper Cretaceous layers of Ligériens lined ( Unterturon - Formation c3a ). In Vignaud even stands Angoumian (- Formation Oberturon c3b ) to.
Old Pleistocene alluvium (of fluvial origin) and colluvial alterites (continental rearrangements on slopes - gravel and sand ) then cover or cover most of the municipal area and mask the underlying Mesozoic sediments. Fluviatile Old Pleistocene (Formation Fs ) is found along the north-western elevations around Brissonneau and above Sceau . The colluvial alterites are either reprocessing products of the Mesozoic Era (Formation AC ) or the Old Pleistocene (Formation ACF ). They occupy the extensive ridges of the watersheds and are made up of forest.
Limestone debris from the Würm glacial period was introduced into the ramified valley of the Boulous near Saint-Angel (Formation GP ), but the river itself flows in a Holocene alluvium (Formation K ). Holocene alluvium is also found in the upper reaches of the Nizonne. Ice-age limestone debris also fills the stream on the northeast border.
Several south-east trending faults are assumed for the northeast section , which should run roughly parallel to the marginal fault of Le Puy (municipality of Nontron) further to the east, where the crystalline Variscan basement (here paragneiss - ζ 1-2 ) compared to the Aquitaine sediments Basin was lifted out. The presence of recrystallized Doggers also suggests interference.
ecology
Natural park
The municipality of Sceau-Saint-Angel is an integral part of the Périgord-Limousin Regional Natural Park .
Protected areas
The upper reaches of Boulou and Nizonne with their wet lowlands form ecotopes of regional importance, which have been designated as ZNIEFF ( French zone naturelle d'interêt écologique, faunistique et floristique ). There are plans to place the entire further course of the Boulous - already classified as ZNIEFF of type 2 - under Natura 2000 protection. The Nizonne also forms a Type 2 ZNIEFF.
The upper reaches of the Boulous - a type 1 ZNIEFF - is characterized by a high level of biodiversity (6 amphibians, 6 reptiles, 79 birds, 233 insects and 10 plants). Characteristic are the taxa jackdaw crab ( Austropotamobius pallipes ), slow worm ( Anguis fragilis ), common frog ( Rana temporaria ), western mud diver ( Pelodytes punctatus ), European tree frog ( Hyla arborea ), yellow-bellied toad ( Bombina variegata ) and marble newt ( Triturus marmoratus ) insect helmet Azurjungfer ( Coenagrion mercuriale ) Cupido Alcetas ( Cupid Alcetas ) -spotted blue ( Phengaris Arion ) golden-ringed dragonfly ( Cordulegaster boltonii ) Large Copper ( Lycaena dispar ), Marsh Fritillary ( Euphydryas aurinia ), Common antlion ( Myrmeleon formicarius ), Common Clubtail ( Gomphus vulgatissimus ), stain Bindiger neck Bock ( Pachytodes erraticus ) which Schwebfliege Milesia crabroniformis , the Weber Bock Musaria rubropunctata , the forceps dragonfly Onychogomphus uncatus , mirror spot Dickkopffalter ( Heteropterus morpheus ) apatura ilia ( Apatura ilia ) and evening primrose hawkmoth ( Proserpinus proserpina ).
history
The oldest cultural evidence in Sceau-Saint-Angel is the Romanesque church of Saint-Angel, which, however, was structurally changed in the 18th century . The Gothic chapel of La Pouyade dates from the 14th century .
In 1868 the community, which until then was only called Saint-Angel, was renamed Sceau-Saint-Angel (the district of Sceau is much more important than Saint-Angel ).
