The Mikhailovskaya Battery (Михайловская казематированная береговая батарея), a casemated coastal battery, is a museum complex forming part of the historical museum of the fortifications of Sevastopol. The museum complex reproduces the interior of a fortification built in the middle of the 19th century.
The coastal battery was built in 1846 as one of ten fortification works defending the coasts of the port city of Sevastopol, and was named in honour of the son of Emperor Nicholas I, Grand Duke Michael of Russia.
