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 ($\parallel a$) 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.
