We have discovered an obscured active galaxy at redshift z = 1.246 identified with the ROSAT X‐ray source RX J1011.2+5545. We report on multiwavelength observations of this source and discuss its X‐ray, optical and radio properties. This is the first X‐ray‐selected, obscured active galaxy at high redshift to be shown to be radio‐loud, with a radio counterpart exhibiting a classical double‐lobe morphology.
