NL Van Reliwiki:
Historische kerk met toren, oorspronkelijk gewijd aan Sint Martinus.

Uit een akte van 1176 blijkt dat de kerk in Epe destijds een moederkerk was waaraan de kerken of kapellen van Hattem, Heerde, Vaassen, Vorchten en Oene ondergeschikt waren. Aan het eind van de 14e eeuw werd begonnen met een grote verbouwing die heeft geleid tot het huidige gebouw. De Romaanse toren dateert uit de 12e eeuw en is verhoogd in de 15e eeuw. Het is tegenwoordig in gebruik door de hervormde gemeente van Epe. De kerk is in 2017 grondig gerestaureerd.
ENG From reliwiki:
Historic church with tower, originally dedicated to Saint Martin.

An act of 1176 shows that the church in Epe was then a mother church to which the churches or chapels of Hattem, Heerde, Vaassen, Vorchten and Oene were subordinate. At the end of the 14th century, a major renovation started, leading to the current building. The Romanesque tower dates from the 12th century and was raised in the 15th century. It is now used by the reformed municipality of Epe. The church was thoroughly restored in 2017.
