Moving

Couldn't resist this story. The 13th-century Emmäuskirche in Heuersdorf, near Leipzig, has spent the last seven centuries on land which is now the target of mining. So it's being moved - all in one piece. Its new home is in a town called Borna, where it will occupy a square named after Martin Luther. The rest of the town seems slated for resettlement, too.
