A remarkable operation is underway to preserve the historic Kiruna Church, one of Sweden’s most iconic landmarks. Mining activities had destabilized the ground beneath the church, putting the centuries-old structure at risk.

Engineers have undertaken an extraordinary task, carefully lifting the entire building onto a massive transport vehicle to move it to a secure location. The relocation ensures the church’s survival for generations to come.

Footage shared by X user Brice captures the moment the church slowly advances on its transport platform, while onlookers watch in awe. “Moving the Kiruna Church…” Brice commented, highlighting the sheer scale and precision of the operation.

The effort represents one of the most ambitious architectural relocations in recent memory, showcasing both human ingenuity and dedication to preserving cultural heritage.
