A 1912 Swedish church is moved 3 miles to avoid damage from an iron-ore mine, part of Kiruna's relocation project.
A beloved 1912 Swedish Lutheran church in Kiruna is being moved 3 miles to a new city center to avoid damage from the world's largest underground iron-ore mine.
The 672-ton church, a Sami-style wooden structure, is being relocated in a two-day event, attracting thousands and featuring an appearance by King Carl XVI Gustaf.
The move, part of a 2004 project to save Kiruna from the expanding mine, involves widening roads and dismantling a viaduct.
So far, 25 buildings have been relocated with 16 more to go.
