Analysis of the optical and infrared photometry together with UV spectroscopy led to discovery of the 15-years periodicity in the symbiotic system V1016 Cyg. This period could be interpreted as a orbital period in the binary system consisting of the Mira variable and the hot white dwarf.We have analyzed long-term optical photographic and UBV photoelectric photometry of V1016 Cyg. Collected observations cover pre- and post-outburst stages of the system. The light, curve suggests four stages of activity: the pre-out burst flare in 1949, the main nova-like outburst in 1904, and two post-outbursts, decreasing-amplitude flares in 1980 and 1994, respectively. Activity episodes affecting the system repeat with an interval of ~ 15 years. The ephemeris for the activity maxima is (see Parimucha et al., 2000).
