Twenty couples got hitched during a five-hour wedding whirlwind at the Kiruna church in northern Sweden on Friday. The historic building is being relocated, along with the entire town, to make way for a mining expansion.

Swedish History Is Evident in These 14 Buildings

© Liam Kearney/Shutterstock.com Sweden’s history as a sovereign state stretches back a thousand years, though its boundaries were often changing until the early 19th century. These 14 buildings provide useful snapshots of how the country’s distant past has influenced its more recent history. Earlier versions of the descriptions of these buildings first appeared in 1001 Buildings You Must See Before You Die , edited by Mark Irving (2016). Writers’ names appear in parentheses. Church of St. Mark St. Mark’s Church, built in 1964 for a new suburban parish in Stockholm, includes a meeting room attached to the church and a row of single-story offices with a low belfry, where the bells are rung by hand in the English manner rather than by an automatic carillon. The little, villagelike complex of buildings is set among birch trees. The covered porch at the entrance to the church is actually a freestanding structure.
