Marum's Romanesque church is one of the oldest brick structures in the province and dates from the 12th century. The nave and tower date from the first quarter of the 13th century. In the 18th century, buttresses were placed on both sides to prevent further subsidence. Because the church grounds used to be enclosed, the tower is close to a ditch and has subsided by > 20 cm. The tower now has a kink. This is the result of a restoration in 1923 when the spire was 'constricted' to prevent further subsidence. Both the north side (women's entrance) and the south side (men's entrance) had north doors. The north side has since been bricked up. West of the Marum church is a striking hump over 2 metres high, topped by a large lime tree. Function of this many centuries-old small height has only been known for a few years.
