The Church of Saint Eugénie is the oldest church in Port Said, built in the mid-19th century in the early years of the city's existence. It was named after Empress Eugénie of France, who was the most prominent of the international dignitaries present at the 1869 opening of the Suez Canal.
The building sits in the old European quarter, which retains more of its original 19th-century character than most of Port Said. The church's exterior is modest, but the interior is carefully maintained. It still serves the small Catholic community of the city and holds regular services.
