Internally, the bays are separated by columns resting on consoles - incorporated in a wide, all-round, profiled window sill list - on which the ribs of the stucco net vault - segmental arch vault with insert vaults above the windows - come down. Original, sober bench plan with gentlemen's benches along the side facades; pulpit dating from the construction period with neo-Gothic and neo-Lod.XIV carvings; organ from 1899 (restored in the 1960s).

Protestantse Kerk

Kûbaard, NL

The church was restored between early 2000 and spring 2007. The restoration plan was drawn up by the architectural firm Jelle de Jong in Lemmer. That does not mean that there were no churchgoers in the church for seven years. First, the tower was restored. Then the exterior and interior of the church followed. And church services continued as much as possible. 18 gravestones were removed from under the floor. Two of these were very old. The squat (gallery) has disappeared. It was needed at the time when a liberal minister came to Wommels and many churchgoers from Wommels came to Kubaard. After an open house on 21 April 2007, the restored church was officially put back into use. (53-05/58-07)
