Magnetism in the insulating BaFe$$_{2}$$Se$$_{3}$$ was examined through susceptibility, specific heat, resistivity and neutron diffraction measurements. After formation of a short-range magnetic correlation, a long-range ordering was observed below $$T_{rm N}$$ $$sim$$ 255 K. The transition is obscured by bulk properties. Magnetic moments are arranged to form a Fe$$_{4}$$ ferromagnetic unit, and each Fe$$_{4}$$ stacks antiferromagnetically. This block magnetism is of the third type among magnetic structures of ferrous materials. The magnetic ordering drives unusually large distortion via magnetoelastic coupling.
