Molkwerum (West Frisian: Molkwar [ˈmɔlkʋar]) is a village in Súdwest-Fryslân municipality in the province of Friesland, the Netherlands.
[3] Molkwerum used to be called Friese Doolhof (Frisian Maze), because it is built on numerous little islands dissected by canals in a random fashion.
[4] 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 maritime past lasted until the 16th/17th century, and Molkwerum turned into a fishing village.
[5] In 2000, an Elvis Presley museum opened in the village, and contains authentic clothes worn by the King and an autographed guitar.
