In Schweden haben sie eine 640 Tonnen schwere Kirche, die durch eine Mine einsturzgefährdet war, am Stück um fünf Kilometer versetzt. Wild.
How do you move one of Sweden’s most beloved wooden churches down the road? With a little bit of engineering, a lot of prayer — and some Eurovision for good luck. The Kiruna Church — called Kiruna Kyrka in Swedish — and its belfry are being moved this week along a 5-kilometer (3-mile) route east to a new city center as part of the town’s relocation. It’s happening because the world’s largest underground iron-ore mine is threatening to swallow the town.
