Answer
Bismillah

Al-jawab billahi at-taufeeq (the answer with Allah’s guidance)

It would be Makruh Tahrimi (prohibitively disliked) to enter or pray Salah in a church, Synagogue, Hindu temple etc, being a place where gross Shirk is committed.

(Hanafi school: Ibn Abidin, Radd al-Muhtar; Shafi’ school: Ramli, Nihayat al-Muhtaj Sharh al-Minhaj)

And Only Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
