A 113-year-old church in the far north of Sweden arrived at his new home after a two-day trip.

Air frames show that the church is rising on specially designed trailers as it has been moved 5 km (3 miles) along the way at a top speed of 500 m per hour, with road fittings such as lamps and signs being removed to make a way.

The church in Kiruna was at risk of ground descent after more than a century of iron ore extraction in the old city center.
