  We present the results of a spectroscopic analysis and spectral energy
distribution (SED) modelling of the optical counterpart of the infrared source
IRAS 22150+6109. The source was suggested to be as a Herbig Be star located in
the star forming region L 1188. Absorption lines in the optical spectrum
indicate a spectral type B3, while weak Balmer emission lines reflect the
presence of a circumstellar gaseous disc. The star shows no excess radiation in
the near-infrared spectral region and a strong excess in the far-infrared that
we interpret as radiation from a large disc, whose inner edge is located very
far from the star (550 au) and does not attenuate its radiation. We conclude
that IRAS 22150+6109 is an intermediate-mass star that is currently undergoing
a short pre-main-sequence evolutionary stage.
