De Marne is mainly an agricultural area, focussing on crop growing and cattle farming.

For instance, there is the Borg Verhildersum in Leens, Abraham's Mustard Museum in Eenrum and many churches, towers, listed heritage farms, terps and protected village settings.

There are also famous church organs built by Arp Schnitger, Lohman (family) and Hinsz.

The faithful bring a new white handkerchief and give it to the hermit to swap it with the one the Virgin has been holding which, in turn, is then given to someone sick or lonely.
