#GIETHOORN : The Molengat is a lake in the Dutch province of Overijssel.

The Molengat is located in the north of the town of Giethoorn. On the north side of the Molengat, the Thijssengracht [1] connects the lake with the Giethoornsche Meer. In the extension of the Thijssengracht, the Beneden Stouwe runs to the east. The Molengat has multiple connections to the canals through the town of Giethoorn and the lake area in the surrounding area. Just like the nearby Belter, Beulaker and Bovenwijde, the Molengat was created by storms. The Molengat was created by the storm of 1825 when large areas of land were knocked away.

On the southwest side of the Molengat is the Tjasker of the same name, the Molengat.
