The church in Kiruna, Sweden, was successfully relocated 5 km to save the structure from the effects of mining in the area. The process took place on a specially designed platform with 224 wheels and was watched by thousands of people, including the King of Sweden. Although the move was well received, there is controversy over the economic impact on the community, as the town is being relocated because of iron ore deposits. The move symbolizes both respect for cultural heritage and the importance of the Swedish mining industry.
