Safest place to park a spaceship close to the Sun

Suppose that I have a spherical space-ship with an approximately 1 kilometer diameter.
For some reason I need to park it (unmanned) for a long period (100+ years) fairly close to the Sun. (Half the distance between Sun and Mercury. But the ship doesn't have to be in the same plane as the Sun/Mercury.)

I'm concerned about heat received from the Sun and of course all other radiation. To more it gets the better its shielding/cooling needs to be.

The ship is kept stationary in a fixed position. It doesn't orbit around the Sun. (It has maneuvering capability to keep in place.) The ship can rotate itself any way it wants to spread exposure evenly over its entire hull if needed.

What would be the safest place to park the ship ? I'm guessing above one of the poles would probably expose it to the least radiation/heat, but I really don't know for sure.
