The mill in the center of Rucava was built in 1937 and until the 1960s was an important place for grain processing for farmers in the vicinity of Rucava (then Paurupe) village. During its operation, this place was also called the "palace of light", because the electricity produced by the steam locomotive supplied not only the mill, but also a part of Paurupe village. In later years, a warehouse for mechanical workshops was installed in the building, which operated until the 90s.
In 2020, after the reconstruction of the building, an exposition was created in it, which allows you to get an insight into the cultural heritage of the Rucava region. The extensive collection of musical instruments of the folk musician Jānis Pūkis can also be viewed there.
