Molkwerum ( ) is a village in Súdwest-Fryslân municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands. It had a population of around 390 in January 2017. Molkwerum used to be called Friese Doolhof (Frisian Maze), because it is built on numerous little islands dissected by canals in a random fashion. The village used to contain 27 bridges.
==History== The village was first mentioned in 1398 as Molkenhuzen. The etymology is unclear. Molkwerum used to be located to the north of the former Zuiderzee and to the south of the former Staverse Meer which was poldered in the 17th century. The village was populated by sea traders who sailed to the Baltic Sea, and had its own office in Amsterdam.
