Historic Kiruna Church Relocates to Make Way for Mine Expansion

The Kiruna Kyrka in Sweden is undergoing a significant relocation, moving 5km to avoid the expansion of Europe's largest underground mine. This 672-tonne church, inaugurated in 1912, is part of a carefully planned operation costing around 500 million kronor. The move, which has attracted public interest and is being broadcast live, highlights the balance between preserving heritage and industrial development.
