Mykolaiv Admiralty is a center of military shipbuilding located on the Inhul. It was built in 1788 by order of Prince Grigory Potemkin to meet needs of the Black Sea Fleet. The new establishment included ship workshops, warehouses for building, equipping and repairing warships, support services and units. According to the original construction plan, the complex was rectangular in shape and was a kind of small fortress.
The geographical location of the shipyard at the mouth of the Inhul near the Southern Bug was convenient for further development of facilities and potential of the shipyard, which later built destroyers, torpedo vessels, submarines and other ships for various purposes.
In 1830-1840 by order of Admiral Mykhailo Lazarev the maritime structure was expanded and reconstructed. Workshops and multi-storied barracks, rope works and foundry have been built, a men's gymnasium has been established. Mykolaiv Construction College is located in the premises of the men’s gymnasium.
The gate being the main entrance to Mykolaiv Admiralty, has a prismatic form with an arch in the middle and guardhouses on the sides. The passage is decorated with columns of the Doric order. The surfaces of the gate walls are rusticated.
In the panels above cornices of the main gate there are embossed reliefs of Hippocampi. Since the Renaissance, the image of a horse with a fishtail has been used in heraldry to demonstrate connection with navigation.
In the end of XIX century Mykolaiv Admiralty turned out to be in a difficult situation due to the lack of timely modernization of production, so it was decided to build a new plant instead of obsolete buildings and dry docks in the area of Solianoy hamlet. These plans failed and in 1910 the Admiralty was closed. Generally speaking, during its funcitoning a large number of ships of various classes and purposes have been built.
Since August 20, 1911 a plant of the Russian shipbuilding company ("Russud") has started functioning in the premises of Mykolaiv Admiralty. Two building berths with boathouses, assembly and welding shop, a number of premises and a sea front have been constructed on the left bank of the Inhul.
The building with a spire decorating our city, is constructed in 1951 in the style of classicism and serves as the administration building of Mykolaiv shipbuilding plant.
