Swedish Church's Amazing Three-Mile Roll | JQJO

A 113-year-old wooden church in Kiruna, Sweden, was relocated over two days due to an expanding iron ore mine. The 600-ton structure, considered Sweden's largest wooden building, was carefully moved on specialized trucks with over 130 wheels, requiring two engineers to monitor for structural damage. The move, expected to be part of a 10-year city relocation project, was deemed necessary to preserve the church's cultural significance. The vicar expressed bittersweet feelings about the move but is optimistic about the church's future, aiming for a Christmas 2024 reopening.
