Something truly unusual and unique is currently happening - the church in Kiruna, Sweden https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiruna is being moved.
This is due to the town of Kiruna slowly falling into the excavations of Europe's largest iron mine. The town has been being dismantled & relocated for at least a decade, now it's time for the distinctive church

I was lucky enough to see the town & church in its original location in 2017 when I visited Abisko to see the aurora
