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

The church in Kubaard was built in 1644. The pipe organ was installed in 1858. 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.

History

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