The fascinating city relocation project in Kiruna, Sweden, reaches a new milestone as the iconic Kiruna Church is moved in one piece.

Watch live as an entire church in Sweden begins its move to its new home on Tuesday, 19 August. Kiruna Church is being relocated to save it from ground subsidence and the expansion of the world's largest underground iron ore mine.

Mammoet, the Dutch heavylift and special transport company has completed the relocation of the iconic Kiruna Church, regarded as one of Sweden’s most treasured architectural landmarks. More than 1,000 hours of planning went into the operation, which took place over two days.
