Entire church to be transported across Swedish city
In Kiruna, Sweden, a 113-year-old church is being relocated 5km due to ground subsidence from iron ore mining. The massive move of this iconic red timber church is part of a larger plan to shift buildings for safety. The church, a historic landmark, will be transported intact and is a significant endeavor for the community emotionally and logistically.
