2006 horse rescue operation

In 2006, following a storm, nearly 100 horses were stranded on a small mud island. Eventually, they were rescued after seven women equestrians organised by Norma Miedema through an internet forum rode out through the water and then rode back leading the horses to safety. A memorial was subsequently erected to mark the bravery and ingenuity of these women.

Windmills

There are two windmills in Marrum, De Grote Molen and De Phenix. A third mill, De Kleilânsmole, was dismantled in 2010 for restoration and rebuilding at Ferwert.
