Kiruna kyrka: Kiruna Church is one of Sweden's largest wooden buildings and a unique structure. It is built in the neo-Gothic style, with the interior showing traits of National Romanticism, while the composition of the altar has an Art Nouveau character.

"You shall build a church that is like a Sami hut (kåta)", said Kiruna's founder Hjalmar Lundbom to his friend, the architect Gustaf Wickman. The church was completed in 1912 and consecrated by Bishop Olof Bergqvist. On the occasion of the consecration, the church was handed over to Jukkasjärvi parish.
