113-year-old sinking church being moved to safety

The 113-year-old Kiruna Church in northern Sweden is being moved 5 km away due to the underground danger caused by mining operations. Built in 1912 and weighing over 600 tons, this historic synagogue is being slowly transported to a new location using special platforms. 
The church is expected to reopen at its new address in 2026.
