Submission statement: “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.”
“… [Swedish television is also broadcasting](https://www.svtplay.se/video/KnDgQ9G/den-stora-kyrkflytten/forsta-dagen?video=visa) the entire journey live as “slow TV”, marking a rare moment when a piece of history does not just survive change – it moves with it.”
They actually moved the whole church building. I thought it was the church moving to a different building at first. It’s awesome that they saved the building.
