Kûkherne

Kûkherne (Dutch: Kuikhorne[1] or Kuijkhorne[2]) is a hamlet in the municipalities of Achtkarspelen, Dantumadiel and Tytsjerksteradiel, in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.

Kûkherne is located south of the railway bridge over the Nije Feart between De Westereen and Feanwâlden.

In terms of official address it's divided among four villages; Feanwâlden, De Westereen, Noardburgum and Twijzelerheide.

The place originated in the 14th or 15th century at a crossroads between De Swemmer and the later Kûkhernster Feart.

During the widening of the bridge over the De Swemmer (1805), the core of hamlet was partly demolished.
