Description
The new District Court, which also acts as the Court of Appeal for Skåne and Blekinge, constitutes a fulcrum for the surrounding characteristic and highly disparate sites. The building’s form reflects the contours of the terrain and cuts a crisp, self-assured profile in relation to its surroundings: water and green areas.

Due to a computer failure all train services were stopped in Boden when I was on my way back to Umeå.
This is Boden's station house in a sort of "Old Norse" style
Architect: Peter Celsing
Built in: 1958-1960
Client: The Diocese of Stockholm
St. Thomas Church was designed by architect Peter Celsing and inaugurated in 1960. The building is built out of bricks from Helsingborg, and inside you will find a wooden crucifix by the artist Bror Hjorth.
The Church is situated in the fifties suburb, Vällingby, where the center was opened in 1954. Sven Markelius had the primary responsibility for the planning of Vällingby center and a church was originally included in those plans. The Church Council gave the job to design the new church to the architects Backström and Reinius, which had designed a series of buildings in the area. After their resignation, Celsing got commissioned to design the church.
The planning went on for more than six years. During this time Peter Celsing and the President of the Church Council, Lennart Håkansson, worked to reconcile the church requirements with Celsing’s aesthetics. First in 1958 could the construction work begin.
The Masonry work was carried out, on Celsing’s proposal, by students to keep the cost down, and to give the walls a more irregular and living form. The parish house, located next to the church is based on sketches by Peter Celsing. It was finalized after Celsing’s death by Per Ahrbom and built in 1975-77.

A window at a construction site in Handen. When it's finished it will be a six storey building. Click here to see the how the building looked just a couple of weeks ago.

This old wooden church - voted the most beautiful Swedish building built before 1950 - is actually going to be moved (!) several kilometers in about 20-30 years. I've heard that there are plans to move it in one piece. That's an impressive task, for sure.
The whole town of Kiruna, situated approximately 150 km north of the Arctic circle, is affected by mining related subsidence and will eventually have to relocate.
