Rekovas dzirnavas ir unikāla vieta pašā austrumu pierobežā. “Pirmajā stāvā bija miltu malšana un otrajā stāvā apstrādāja vilnu. Dzirnavas pastāvēja līdz 1980.gadam. Vēlāk ēka nevienam nepiederēja, lietus ietekmē iebruka jumts un faktiski viss bija sadrupis. 2016.gadā zemnieku saimniecības “Kotiņi” saimniekam Aldim Ločmelim radās iespēja iegādāt ēku un saliekot galvas kopā, radās ideja, ka ēkā varētu būt vietējās produkcijas veikaliņš.”
