The high-resolution spectrum of the post-AGB star HD161796 is analyzed. The derived atmospheric parameters are: T_ eff_=7250±200 K, logg=0.5±0.3 and ξ_ t_=4.5±0.5 km/s. The star is found to be mildly metal deficient with [Fe/H] = -0.30. The C, N, O and Na - S abundances are enhanced. The abundances of iron peak elements follow those of Fe. The elements produced in s-process are considerably underabundant and the r-process elements slightly underabundant. The star is found to be more luminous (M_V←6 mag) and more distant (d>3.6 kpc) than was considered earlier.
