Abstract
The results of GP Cep photometric and polarimetric observations, mostl y of 1989, are presented. Investigation of polarization changes with p eriod of the star pair A (6d,6884), in which a WN6 star is contained, permits to determine the orbit plane inclination angle i = 65-degrees. Furthermore, a study of GP Cep intrinsic polarization allows to sugge st a model of the star pair with matter nux between its components.
