The article examines the space of privacy as a sphere that protects a person from the anxieties of the external world, which intensified after the destruction of traditional culture in the era of modern age. It is shown that the process of individualization has brought not only new opportunities, but also the need to make personal choices and be responsible for them. Secularization gave rise to a feeling of loneliness and alienation in a world without divine providence that is why the role of a cozy home space as a refuge from the outside world is so important in the European culture of modernity. However, private space, as a result of its closed nature, becomes even more dangerous than public space.
