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.
