The light three-storey building that adorns Vladivostok's downtown is the Brynner mansion, which is rightly considered one of the most beautiful architectural monuments in the Primorye capital. It was built in the early 20th century upon the project of German architect Georg Yunghendel, whose architectural talent was incarnated in several more magnificent buildings that later became Vladivostok's genuine sights.
The house was owned by the Swiss Jules Bryner - the merchant of the first guild and one of the most famous manufacturers in the Far East, who influenced modern look of the downtown. Aged 16, he ran away from home and settled in Yokohama (Japan), then, in 1880s, he moved to Vladivostok, was granted Russian citizenship and bought large shipping company. Thus, he became the architect of the Far Eastern steamship line. Local residents remember him for his contribution to Vladivostok's development and becoming one of the most important Russian ports.
The mansion is also famous as the place where Jules Bryner's son Yul was born and spent his childhood. After the revolution in the 1917, he moved to the USA with his family, added another 'n' to his last name and started brilliant acting career. The actor Yul Brynner is famous for his roles in Oscar-winning movies The King and I and The Magnificent Seven. In the year 2005, the memorial plaque in honor of the Vladivostok-born Hollywood star was opened in the Brynner house.
The future Hollywood star, winner of the Oscar, was born on July 11, 1920 in the Brinner family, who played a large role in the history of Vladivostok. In honor of his grandfather, Julius Ivanovich Brinner, who was a major fish and gold miner, he was named Julius. After the establishment of Soviet power in Primorye in 1922, the family emigrated to Harbin, then to Paris, and later to the United States. Yul Brynner since childhood took part in home productions, and in the United States became a famous actor. In Hollywood, the actor played many roles, including in the productions of Russian classics. He received an Oscar for starring in the movie King and Me.
It was in the image of the proud and powerful king of Siam that Yul Brinner was depicted by the sculptor from St. Petersburg Alexey Bokiy.
A statue in front of the house where this famous actor was born in Vladivostok. Yul is wearing a costume from his famous film "The King and I". There is a plaque on the left of the house too, don't miss it. No entry into house which is privately owned.
A lot of old movie fans are enjoying the great actor's life, I also love him
