 Documents confirm that before Csak, during the reign of the early Árpád kings, the settlement was inhabited by castle warriors ("jobagiones castri") and controlled by the Count of Pozsony.The castle warriors of Reca developed into landowning lower nobility and Reca was a characteristic curial village of Pozsony County until the mid-20th century.During the Counter-Reformation in the 16th and 17th centuries, Reca (or Réthe, as it was then known) became the shelter of Bohemian and Moravian Protestants after the Battle of the White Mountain, because the Reca gentry was not subject to Catholic Habsburg religious laws.
