The Kostyantynivska Battery in the Mykolayiv area is an artificial dam on the right bank of the Buzky estuary, which ends with the fortified island of Flagshtok.

It was built in 1855 according to the project of the famous military engineer Eduard Totleben. The dam starts from the former village of Mala Korenykha (now a district of the city) opposite the center of Mykolaiv and runs across the estuary.

During the Crimean War, it became part of the defense system of the city, when there was a threat of its capture by Anglo-French troops. The artillery battery located on the island, together with the Kaufmann battery on the opposite bank of the estuary, blocked the narrow fairway passage for ships with fire.
