Historic church above the Arctic Circle on the move

In the far north of Sweden, where winter stretches long and the earth holds iron deep below, a church is on the move. After standing for more than a century, the beloved wooden Kiruna Church is being carefully rolled—yes, rolled—five kilometers to escape the slow but steady sink of the ground beneath it. The cause? Europe’s largest underground iron ore mine. Locals and visitors alike are watching as history glides forward, one remote-controlled wheel at a time. It’s a feat of engineering—and devotion. Radio Sweden has the full story.
