Kiruna Church from 1912, a landmark building built in wood in the town of Kiruna in the northern province of Lapland, Sweden. In the background is the iron mining operations in the town.

Consecrated in 1913, the Kiruna kyrka was built to look like a huge Sami kåta (hut) and is particularly pretty against a snowy backdrop. A town landmark, it is slated to survive the town's move to the east.
