Entire church begins two-day journey across Swedish city

Entire church begins two-day journey across Swedish city

A 113-year-old wooden church in Sweden is being relocated across the city over a two-day journey. The church building, which is at risk of subsidence, will be moved 5 kilometers on giant rolling platforms. The relocation is a complex and delicate operation, as the church is a historic landmark and must be transported intact. The entire process is expected to take two days, with the church being carefully maneuvered through the city streets. The move is necessary to prevent further damage to the building and ensure its preservation for future generations. Local authorities and preservation experts are closely involved in the project, which is being closely watched by the community. The successful relocation of the church will not only safeguard its heritage but also serve as a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of those involved in preserving Sweden's architectural legacy.
