Ce clocher de l'église catholique romaine Saint-Claude est situé sur la rue Meunier Ouest à Laval.

La particularité du clocher, celui-ci n'est pas intégré à la bâtisse, mais se trouve juste à côté. Il mesure plus que 100 pieds (35 mètres). Deux cloches se trouvent au sommet du clocher.

Même si l'histoire écrite de Laval est vieille de plus de 400 ans, l'histoire de la Paroisse Saint-Claude est très recente. La paroisse a été fondée en 1960 et l'église a été bâti en 1965.

L'architecture de l'église est très moderne pour l'époque et elle est inluencée par le Vatican 2 (Concile Œcuménique Vatican II), une entreprise vaste de la modernisation de l'Eglise, qui a eu lieu entre 1962 à 1965. La principale implication pour les fidèles, était un changement dans lithurgie, qui s'est rapidement reflété dans la façon de construire des nouvelles églises à cette époque.
