The study deals with understanding of space in Heidegger's late works, where concept of "place" plays the key role (der Ort, TOPOS) - title defining the final phase of Heidegger's thinking at all. The contribution follows the interpretation of this specification through understanding what is the "thing", building on Heidegger's text "Bauen, Wohnen, Denken".
This text works with concept "Geviert", which is a specific description of relationship of man and the world. And this concept is also a source of sense of definition of man as "Ortschaft des Seins".
