Kiruna Church - called Kiruna Kyrka by locals - is being moved 5 kilometers (3.1 miles) to a new city center as part of the entire town’s relocation.
It’s happening because the world's largest underground iron-ore mine is threatening to swallow the town.

A landmark 113-year-old church at risk from ground subsidence is being relocated in its entirety - in a 5km (3 miles) move along a road in Sweden's far north. The vast red timber structure in Kiruna dating back to 1912 has been hoisted on giant rolling platforms and will now begin its move to the new city centre.

Travelling at a maximum speed of 500m an hour, the journey is expected to take two days.

The old city centre is at risk from ground fissures after more than a century of iron ore mining. The church's move is the most spectacular and symbolic moment of the wider relocation of buildings in Kiruna, which lies 145km north of the Arctic Circle
