Kiruna Church

This extraordinary wooden church measuring 35x35x35 m and weighing 600 tons is now soon ready to be moved in one piece along with the adjacent bell-tower to their new home in the cemetery of the city a couple of kilometers closer to the new center of Kiruna. We passed Kiruna during the first half of July 2025 and the transport of the church that will be done at a speed of about 0.5 km/h is scheduled for the 19th and 20th of August with the 21st as a reserve day. All hotels in town are already fully booked since a long time because the event attracts loads of people from near and far. Not to be missed if you are in the area!

I was thrilled to see the church 5 days before it got moved to its new location.

Beautiful church. Amazingly quiet and has a wonderfully rich wooden aroma. Nice and warm inside too. Definately worth braving the snow and cold to take a peek in!

It is one of the most beautiful, simple but georgous churches I had ever seen. It wellcomes you with its generosity. The structure was unique for a church

Awarded the most beautiful structure in Sweden 2001. One can almost hear the theme from the Pirates of the Caribbean played the church's grand organ. Otherwise, is a bright, quiet and peaceful place for meditation and prayer
