The Kiruna Church — called Kiruna Kyrka in Swedish — is being moved this week along a 5-kilometer (3-mile) route east as part of the town’s relocation. It’s happening because the world’s largest underground iron-ore mine is threatening to swallow the town.

The Kiruna Church and its belfry are being moved along a 5-kilometer route east to a new city center in northern Sweden as part of the town’s relocation

Completed in 1912, the Kiruna Church has previously been named Sweden’s most beautiful building. Today, it’s part of a project which will see nearly 6,000 residents and a third of Kiruna’s buildings relocated over the next two decades.
