The porter's lodge, made of bricks and stone, reminds of the buildings constructed by Gaudí's assistants Berenguer and Rubió i Bellver years later in the Güell Colony. This construction constitutes the entrance to the estate, to which access is gained by passing below a parabolic arch of bricks. The railing of wrought iron that closes the arch bears a particular importance given to its complexity of execution.A major dilemma immediately springs to mind when one begins to read the texts on the Bodegas Güell of Garraf: is this a creation by Gaudí or by Berenguer?
Many biographers of Gaudí's work have commented that Gaudí himself stated that the construction of Wine Cellars Güell was to be attributed to his collaborator Berenguer. Moreover, many photos of this construction were found in Berenguer's file. In addition, Berenguer used to collaborate very closely with Gaudí, who came to consider him as his right hand. The point at stake here is the debate about the authorship of the building starting from a comparison of the Wine Cellars with other works of both artists.Therefore, the conclusion arrived at is that, in any case, Gaudí projected the above-mentioned structure, but Berenguer carried out its construction. -
