A 672-tonne church is currently being rolled through the city of Kiruna, located in northern Sweden. The exact nature of the church, whether it's a new or old structure, its religious denomination, size, and destination remain undisclosed.

Meanwhile, news has emerged that Czech billionaire Daniel Kretinsky is planning to invest in Thyssen Krupp Steel. The investment, the terms of which are yet to be disclosed, was announced today. Thyssen Krupp Steel, the company receiving the investment, is not specified as to how this investment will impact their operations, future plans, or the steel industry as a whole.

Kiruna, known for its rich iron ore deposits, is a town that needs to relocate its town centre due to mining activities. Interestingly, the church being rolled through the city is not the first unusual sight for the residents of Kiruna.

Daniel Kretinsky, a successful businessman from the Czech Republic, is no stranger to significant investments. The exact purpose of the investment in Thyssen Krupp Steel remains unclear, but it is expected to have some impact on the company's future.

As for the church, its historical or cultural significance is also not known. Whether it's being moved by human effort or mechanical means is also a mystery. The church's journey through Kiruna adds an unusual twist to the ongoing relocation of the town centre, further highlighting the unique character of this northern Swedish city.
