Originally a reformed church. Three-sided closed hall church with roof turret, lesenes and pointed arch windows, from 1801. Internal stucco vault.

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)

Beautiful neoclassical church with tower. Restoration in 1947. In Bovensmilde, along the Drentse Hoofdvaart, lies the site with the Reformed Church and associated parsonage. Due to its intactness and beautiful location, the complex was declared a national monument in 1995. These national monuments are of both cultural-historical and architectural-historical importance. In 2010, the church building was transferred by the owner, the Protestant community of Bovensmilde, to Het Drentse Landschap. The parsonage followed in 2015. The church was built between 1868 and 1870 and is a so-called Waterstaatskerk. Such churches were built in the period 1824-1875 with financial support from the national government. The building has neoclassical features, such as the symmetrical construction and the use of pediments and cornices. The parsonage dates from 1862 and is eclectic in style. The parsonage is a national monument.
