In 1607 the knight Wilhelm Krevet had the Vernaburg built to move his residence from Freedom in Salzkotten to Verne .

In 1954 the Don Bosco School was established in Verne, which belongs to Salzkotten.

Religions

Verne is the oldest living Marian pilgrimage site in Germany. The tradition is based on a pilgrimage that a member of the Verner ministerial family, who in legend bears the name Wilhard, made in 1171 in the entourage of the Saxon Duke Henry the Lion to the Holy Land (and / or to Rome). From this pilgrimage he probably brought back the unique reliquary made of boxwood, the setting of which shows a golden, looped meander ribbon on dark purple, in the fields of which seven golden eagles are painted. The reliquary has been enriched over the centuries. The oldest pieces are still wrapped in Byzantine silk without cedulae and tied with tendons. With these relics a big day trip (approx. 30 km) to Geseke was organized every year , during which even the national and diocese borders were crossed. Approx. In 1220 a Romanesque miraculous image designed as a temporary reliquary was made, in which the relics are now permanently enclosed.

The legal successor to the dissolved office of Salzkotten-Boke and the municipality of Verne is the city of Salzkotten.
