Originally detected as a 12 min pulsating X-ray source by ROSAT, 1WGA1958.2+3232 was correctly identified as an Intermediate polar based on optical observations, where it exhibits modulation at several periods ranging from 12 min to 4.3 h. We carried out optical and X-ray observations on the 1WGA1958.2+3232, detecting also circular polarization in the R and I band with an UBVRI polarimetric campaign at the Nordic Optical Telescope, that allows to classify this object as a new member of the small class of polarized intermediate polars. Moreover, we report on multicolor optical photometry carried out between 1999 and 2001.
