Abstract
The results of photometric BVRc
observation of polar-ring galaxy
candidate UGC 5600 obtained with 6-m telescope are analyzed.
We confirm the existence of inner polar ring and show that outer
ring-type structure is in fact the spiral arms. Thus the galaxy
represent an unusual class of gas-rich spiral galaxies with inner polar ring.
