Introduction
Kiruna Church was built in 1912 and is a symbol of Swedish Lapland, designed by Gustaf Wickman in the National Romantic style. Modeled on alpine valley churches, its wooden hall is celebrated for fine acoustics and warm light, and has repeatedly been voted Sweden's most beloved church building. Because iron mining causes ground subsidence, the whole church is being moved together with the town.
