Just across the street from where we work is a beautiful church aptly named the Kiruna Church. So far, it's the only one in town, and it was voted Sweden's most beautiful building. For the whole country, that's pretty impressive. I'm told that it's built in the shape of a traditional Sami
hut, and that's why it's the shape it is. It also has quite a non religious feel about it,
mainly because this isn't a particularly religious place but also because the designers wanted the miners to have something bright when they came out of the mine. It is really well kept, with gleaming gold statues on the outside, and an awesome bell tower and on the inside it is all dark wood. It was a really nice visit for just a lunchtime visit. The founder of the mine is also buried here too.
