Kûbaard (Dutch: Kubaard) is a small village located in the municipal Súdwest-Fryslân in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population around 242 inhabitants in January 2017.[1]

The church in Kubaard has been built in 1644. The pipe organ was installed in 1856 by Willem Hardoff. Now electrified, it once was powered by foot power, providing air to the bellows to the individual pipes as required by the organist. Although the organ would be considered small by today's standards, it more than adequately fills the church. It was renovated in 2017 by the Dutch organ firm Bakker & Timmenga.[2]

History[]

Before 2018, the village was part of the Littenseradiel municipality and before 1984 it belonged to Hennaarderadeel municipality.
