Каплиця Нерукотворного Спаса споруджена на місці, де в 1888 році поблизу станції Борки зійшов із рейок потяг, у якому їхав російський імператор Олександр III із родиною.

Безліч людей загинуло в катастрофі, проте імператор, який перебував у вагоні, дивом не постраждав, як і члени його сім'ї. На згадку про цю подію було засновано Спасів скит.

За проєктом академіка архітектури Марфельда було споруджено храм Христа Спасителя та каплицю Нерукотворного Спаса. При скиті діяла лікарня та будинок для літніх залізничників, школа, бібліотека.

Під час Другої світової війни храм було підірвано, а каплицю сильно пошкодженю. Лише в 2003 році було проведено реставрацію каплиці, а станції повернули історичну назву.
