We present the results of simultaneous VLBA polarisation observations of the BL Lacertae object 0820+225 at 5, 8, and 15 GHz, together with earlier images at 5 GHz. This source has an unusually rich total intensity and polarisation structure compared to other objects with comparable redshifts. The magnetic field in the inner part of the complex and highly twisted VLBI jet is transverse, as is typical of BL Lacertae objects, but becomes roughly longitudinal further from the core, possibly due to shear. Although the integrated rotation measure of 0820+225 is modest, the rotation-measure distribution on parsec scales is non-uniform, and clearly shows regions where the rotation measure is substantially higher than the integrated value.
